Mark your calendar, ladies:
Supposedly Goldman Sachs's bonus numbers- i.e. the most important figures in the world and those by which all other bank employees measure their self-worth- will be officially communicated January 20th. Will the day end in tears of joy or the kind used as lube to JO&C? Stay tuned.
Bonuses paid in '08 that were of the look-but-don't-touch variety were turned into real live ones that you can buy things with last year. Two billion dollars worth of live ones.
If you're unhappy about your bonus this year, perhaps it'll make you feel less alone to know Lloyd Blankfein's dropped, too. (To $23 million.)
