@kerrloy Thanks for reaching out! We sent our NY crew home to be safe...hoping to be back soon!
No ONE and I mean NO ONE should be getting a bonus if the company they are working for does not make money. How many times does that have to be said. What part of "THE COMPANY LOST MONEY YOU DON'T GET A BONUS", do these people not understand......The days of the free Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner is OVER, GET IT!!!!!!! All those rich slobs that have to be paid a bonus to stick around....don't let the door hit you in the ( ) on the way out!!!
On another note, if there are people that are working for the Government getting bonuses, sorry, you don't get a bonus either...we are broke. All future bonuses if there are any, will be going to the National Health-care program..or what ever Congress and the President comes up with.
Congress will stop the abuse of AIG (scapegoat) About congress
