Title: RBS
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 25 April 2014, 18:44:38
81% owned by the taxpayer (you and I) they made a staggering loss of 8.2 billion pounds last year.

Despite this, RBS 'bosses' are apparently pissed off because George Osborne won't allow them  to make bonus payments of 200%....... >:(

I mean, who else in the 'real world' works for an annual salary of say, £30,000, and then receives a further £60,000 as a bonus for failure.

What planet do these people live on?

P.S......If my old mates Albs and Nickbat still frequented the forum they'd be falling over themselves to reply........ ;) ::) ::) ::) :)

well just to put a positive note on it. Think how much the bonuses would have been if they had only made say 4 billion£ loss! ;D

I don't understand how they make such losses.

Swmbo should be in charge of all these banks, she has a right go at me even if I loose a quid ;D
