Well he gets to issue the bonuses then doesn't he?Originally posted by Bumfluff View PostJust heard the head of trading tell the traders opposite me 'this years bonuses are going to be tulip' , and this is bank has done ok, doubt I will be renewed come April then.
Give his underlings a measly bonus and takes the rest for himself.

It's Deja-vu all over again!

Plenty of bench time on it's way later this year I reckon. Enjoy.

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

It's like a CUK Deathmatch, as Prawn says, Last Man Standing.
However, from the world of B2B, suddenly it's a little grim with the credit crunch and budget justification.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment
