when i worked for a bank, i was struck by the dichotomy of the workplace; while the rank and file people in my office were chastised for making personal calls during work time, the department head's assistant/secretary probably spent a third of her time running personal errands for the department head. I also dont understand how a company can cut dividends to their shareholders by 85% or more and still pay generous bonuses and stock grants to their senior staff. i think its disgusting. If I were a board member I would flat out tell the executives that if they cant pay shareholder a reasonable dividend then they dont deserve a bonus, but I guess commonsense and integrity are bywords of previous times. In the dotcom era when i stupidly repurchased some shares of a company on the downward slope I was amazed that they were forever reworking the bonus plans annually so that they could pay their senior guys bonuses even though the companys share price had tanked into the sub $1 space, and the the company was losing money- like what could these guys have possibly done to justify getting a bonus. it was just mindboggling.
