How can you call these things "retention" bonuses when they're being paid to people who have already left the company?<BR/><BR/>This whole "bonus culture" in the financial industry is a big unfunny joke.

That's not a bonus, that's part of your salary.<BR/><BR/>--NonyNonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
