Dummy Spitting Backlash Imminent
Guardian: Royal Bank of Scotland bonus pool now under government control
"RBS has revealed that it has reluctantly surrendered the right to decide how any bonuses should be paid for the current financial year, warning that it could harm the bank's ability to recruit and retain (greedy and ruthless) staff." (bracketed comments added by C&C!)
In a circular to shareholders, RBS said it has granted the Treasury the right to "consent to the quantum and shape of the 2009 bonus pool", as part of the terms of joining the government's asset protection scheme (APS).
