From the front lines:

"Deutsche Bank's head of HR sent staff an email saying bonus announcements would be delayed until March. Rank and file assume that this is to give more time for layoffs from the restructuring effective on January 1st and to wait to see what the market pays. Not looking good!

The new CEO has big plans.

The good news: there will still be bonuses this year, which is something! The even better news, for those who'd describe themselves as fans of tantric bonuses: it'll be a while before you see it all.

Deutsche Bank's mismanagement of this year's bonus season is like a new form of performance art.

As for the rest of the staff? Expect something just a smidge above zilch/zip/nada.

Drinks on first-year analysts?

Fingers crossed.
