Bonuses - What do people think?

[Asht_200]

It happens day in day out across the world with hostile takeovers and asset stripping. Its the way of business. The business world is noticebly absent of legalities and morals.

As ive already said IMO Hestor should have took his bonus. All credit to him that he worried about his reputation enough to have turned it down and it says alot to me about the calibre of the man. But RBS made the deal with the devil by taking the money and they are niave to think there was never going to be interference from the government/media/public.

He would have fixed his reputation by instead of not taking the bonus... taking the bonus and handing it to a charity

Trouble is the politicians are naturally going to be more concerned about winning votes than they are managing a bank for profit / share price. The decision made not to pay Hester his bonus proves that.

No one decided not to pay Hestor, he decided he would forgo it himself
