There is a decent chance that Ken Feinberg's model results will be enough to drive some people to the brink of seriously considering other ways to make a living. But life at the top of a large financial services company can be pretty good and the perks can go a long way towards cushioning the blow from substandard paydays. So if you're going to make a move, you better make sure the perks can justify the potential hit to income.
Academia has its high points: flexible schedules, casual dress, no annoying regulators. And one more thing.
Dr Terence Kealey from Buckingham University, for instance, finds curvy female students an attractive element of his total reward package.
In a light-hearted, albeit rather frank, article penned for the Times Higher Education magazine, Dr Kealey said female students who flaunt their curves are a perk of the job and should be enjoyed.
The article read: "Most male lecturers know that, most years, there will be a girl in class who flashes her admiration and who asks for advice on essays. What to do? Enjoy her! She's a perk."
So eye candy should be included in total comp calculation. Interesting theory professor. Anything else you care to add on what to do with the curves being thrown in your face?
"Which you should admire daily to spice up your sex, nightly, with the wife. As in Stringfellows, you should look but not touch."

Greg - Nice work, seriously. When in doubt, sex sells.
It's a simple forumal really, just start off with something finance related, add a sensy picture, and end up talking about hot chicks (they don't even really have to be hot).

This is top notch financial journalism! Top notch.

I think what Dr. Kealey is really trying to say here is, "Those tits never get old."

At last, a decent picture of Bess. Greg, enjoy your perk while it lasts.

Finally Greg, something that makes you slightly more worthy than an amoeba.

Greg -
Your body of work is so bad, even that body can't save you. And what a body it is. The sign of a desperate man doing desperate things, you friggin loser.
Love,
Mom

Nice work, Greg. Can you make the picture bigger?

@4 Well played.

Greg.

hmm, so thong snapping (once his sackable offense) is now a perk? Watch out Canada.

Dr. Kealey would like to know how badly that girl in the mini-skirt wants that A.

I think banker chicks should count as a reduction to compensation packages *cringe*

@14 Hey! If we are going to talk paycuts for ugly coworkers, that door swings both ways. Fat, balding, and old is not a perk.

I've banged the chick in the pic. Banging Bess right now.
