RBS Boss Bonus: Rich Getting Richer
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16751691
As this institution is 83% owned by us how can it be that a virtual government employee get almost a million pounds as a bonus? Bankers got us into this mess and still got huge bonuses and knighthoods whilst doing so, so why are they being rewarded further?
Yes there's been a turnaround at RBS but ordinary employees have been made redundant and the bank is still in debt. But as one former member of the government pointed out the RBS boss hasn't leant out as much as promised to small businesses as part of the 'save-ass' deal, so why is he being rewarded for failure to achieve objectives?

Will he get the same bonus deal for the rest of his tenure is what needs to be asked and if he is then needs to be addressed immediately. The bottom line is he shouldnt be paid a bonus for what essentially doing his day to day job.
