...if their bonuses are cut. What a bunch of self-centered, whiny asshats.

Fuck you. Just fuck you. Try going without a job for over a year because you don't have the right kind of cashier experience, then tell me how much your 6 figure salary sucks. I fucking dare you.

Nervousness about the global economy, new regulations, slow dealmaking and public anger at banks will likely push banks to slash this year's bonus pool so much that it will be the smallest since the height of the financial crisis in 2008, the Wall Street Journal reports. At Morgan Stanley, some investment bankers may see their bonuses cut by 30 to 40 percent. And at Goldman Sachs, many of the firm's partners' compensation could be halved.

Estimates of this year's Wall Street bonuses have varied widely, but usually see a drop from last year. According to a November survey from consulting firm Johnson Associates Inc., for example, bonuses should fall 20 to 30 percent on average this year. Other surveys predict an average drop of 35 to 40 percent.
Clearly, the problem is with the new regulations, not the economic meltdown they created in their greed. Never mind the fact that several of these banks have seen record-breaking bonuses since the meltdown happened.
Her3tik, you have groupies.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

They have no right to complain since, unlike most people, they still have a bonus. You know what? I think they should quit. I encourage them to do so. Maybe then we can start dismantling one of the systems that has brought ruin to the economy, both national and international.

No, this is just as bad as any other argument that you don’t have it bad enough so your problems don’t matter. Not all that different from the people complaining that the Wisconsin public employees had pensions and so had to take it up the ass from Walker.

The fact that they haven’t earned their bonuses due to the meltdown, as mentioned, is enough to take away their right to complain.

Let 'em quit.  Good riddance to bad rubbish, IMO.

You know, they should be in jail for the ruin they brought on the global economy as well as the individual people worldwide.

I think just giving them a slightly smaller bonus seems overly generous on our part.  ???

Fuck them and their fucking sense of entitlement.
From international relations to religious rivalries, from marriage to athlete's foot, whatever the problem a fundy's first solution is usually violence.

I just can't muster up sympathy for a guy making a 6-figure+ wage earning a bonus that's a chunk smaller than it was last year. Boo fucking hoo. I could live for a few decades off of what they make a year; they can frikkin eat me, and as far as I'm concerned, they'll get the right to bitch once the least of us have had a good thorough turnaround.

Oh boo-hoo. I'm sure there will be thousands of people more than willing to take over your job.
