I'd be happier if they were legally forced to pay back all bonuses and then sacked.

Not all bank staff are bankers...

Nothing like a capitalist who gets morally aggrieved that someone else is making more money than him.

Remind us Dim, what's that site you're involved with where you lend money to people at over-the-odds interest rates?

Capitalism turns into Socialism when Govt bails them out.

Instead of paying bonuses banks should be increasing their capital base. In current environment keeping a job in a bank should be more valuable then getting a bonus and being sacked.

Well said.

Many of them will be people in IT that have taken more cr*p from management and other teams than you'll have in a lifetime others will be staff that have busted their balls in very specialised business analyst jobs and will find it hard to find anything else. Not everyone in the city earns £400,000+ per year. I know that the Equities cash department is for the chop in the investment banking arm. I wonder what will happen to their 3 year deferred bonus. Glad I never went there 1 year ago when they were recruiting contractors like mad as those were the only ones who were willing to work there.

Boo hoo! Poor little investment bankers.

My heart bleads for them.

Do let us know when you're benched from your overpaid contracting job, so we can offer support and sympathy.
