DodgyAgent - Some serious questions for you...

1) Why are you such a fan of bankers?

2) How can you possibly justify the MASSIVE REWARDS they've received for their MASSIVE FAILURE?

3) How much sympathy do you think bankers would have for you if it was your industry that had ruined the economy?

He's not the only one...

1) They get masses of cash and then piss it up the wall in as many high tax earning ways as you can think of (high value homes, beer and spirits, strippers, sports cars, petrol for the sports cars)

2) They get it because they are perceived good at what they do and the market wants to attract their attention (Yes it's tough tulip if you happen to be a plebe who no one cares about, and are stood on the outside watching) But the fact is: The guys can phone up people like Dodge and up their salary on demand. So they get what they want to stop them going elsewhere. Early in my career I worked in Merchant Banks. I saw more than a few teams up sticks and leave on mass for better deals It's They hold the banks to ransom and every one knows it. (except you, apparently!).

3) **** all! They are self obsessed ******* by nature, whats new? (by the way when Lehmans collapsed, the staff wandered over to All Bar Ones and drank it empty on the tuesday afternoon not a bad tax take on a day when most of the people didn't know when or if they would get paid!

This bollocks about "Oh the bankers are so tulip needs to stop". They earn the cash because they can. Life is not fair and you should have focused yourself to work in the city instead of whatever it is you do.

You are totally misisng the point - as was Dodgy. You seem to assume that we accept a situation where you can get paid gazzillions for ruining things is "just the way it is". It isn't - it's what we've allowed to happen, but it's not the only way to run things.

It's not envy based on what others have (I think those who keep crying on about envy and hypocrisy are judging others by their own standards) - no-one's objecting to really fabulous pay for a job well done.

These people are being paid for failure.

As for "we bought a load of porsches, foreign beer and paid tax so you all have to ignore our bad behaviour and crap businesses" - that's very weak. Lehmans contribution to social well being is drinking All Bar One dry? don't make me laugh - pathetic.
