“Bonus downgrades” are coming.

“This hasn’t been officially communicated yet but is known to the higher-ups: bonuses for 2010 will be “less than 2009″ (and it wasn’t like 2009 involved anything to write home about). Plus – layoffs expected early next year. No concrete numbers on the cuts yet. But the bonus downgrade is assured. And don’t forget – your modest bonus will not get paid until June. The question of the day is: will they do what they did last year (half paid 6 months after year end, the other half a year after that), or give you the whole shebang in June?”

    Not a big deal. Happens all the time at JT Marlin and Rodman-Renshaw.

    The auto-loading ads are very annoying. Other than that, I have no concerns.

    It is not as if Kate & Will’s wedding is going to pay for itself, you know. We need the colonies to contribute their fair share.
