Remunerações variáveis


A propósito do intenso debate que está a decorrer na opinião pública norte-americana acerca da possibilidade de os bancos recentemente intervencionados pelo Governo continuarem a pagar remunerações variáveis, os bónus, aos seus executivos. Aqui vão as reacções mais interessantes, colhidos num artigo que acabei de ler na Bloomberg:

"I may not understand everything, but I do understand common sense, and when you lend money to someone, you don't want to see them at a new car dealer the next day", Ken Karlson

"The argument of saying we're not using the bailout money is just crap because money's fungible, money's money", Graef Crystal

"Taking a bonus (...) kind of like being in the Titanic. It was supposed to be women and children first, so the guys that tried to jump in the lifeboats weren't really looked upon with much kindness", Jim Beachboard
