I’ve decided I’m in the wrong business, and have started to look for a new career. I have something in mind, something where my talents and skills won’t be necessary. I want to be able to have the kind of career where I can do badly and not have any reprecussions. The kind of job where I can lose my company money, and still be rewarded. Where I can mis-manage funds so badly that the goverment has to give me billions in loans just to keep millions of other people who depend on my company from going under. And then I can take some of those billions and pay out bonuses to all those people that were spectacularly crappy at their job.

Seriously, because they have a contract they should be allowed to keep their bonuses? Did these contracts not specificy that it was based on performance? If not, why the hell not?!
