Thought of the day.. how many of us would say no to a huge bonus?.. yet would it not depend on how much you need it?.. a moral issue?

Quotes from Article..

" Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna said: "Stephen Hester( bank boss) has done a good job, but that's what most of us are paid to do in our usual jobs," he said.
"You receive a bonus if you've done something out of the ordinary."
Union leaders were livid. David Fleming, Unite national officer, said: "What planet does Stephen Hester and his banking chums live on? Taking almost £1 million from taxpayers' pockets as a bonus is offensive to every working person across the country."
Good points..

  1. Stephen Hester has decided to waive the bonus. Too right! what work has he done to deserve that money? for work in a bank we bailed out that may yet bring us all down?

  2. Hmmm .. bet his wife was pissed.. ( if he has one).. but then i suspect they may barely notice..the fact he's able to turn it down tells me it's not essential.. I don't know.. mucky business..
    The value we place on certain jobs over others is skewiff..
