I've no problems with bonus's as a means to reward and motivate your good employees, but with the scandulous abuse of the bonus system, its open season for the 24 hour media, who hear bank and bonus in the same sentence. This then has a knock on affect with the share price...
Then of course don't pay the bonus's and you lose your key talent, as unmotivated bright sparks always jump ship, leaving the moaners and the plodders
Think I'll stick to running a small private biz and keep my head under the radar

Just in case I'm ever offered the CEO role lol
