Grrrrrrrrrrr that's disgraceful!
They still owe the London branch £8 Billion that they took on the friday eventing before the company went under. Wonder if they're going to repay that??
£1.4 Billion split between 10,000 staff. Presuming that's an american billion, that's £14k each, although obviously the fat cats at the top will get much more no doubt...Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
Presumably plenty of staff members have done their jobs properly, met targets and been efficient. If i was those members of staff i'd still feel deserving of my bonus and would want it.Bought, not Brought0

Well they can't have been that efficient, as the company went bust! All debts should be paid before bonuses are given out!Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')

It's nothing to do with the staff why they went bust, they were still making good money up until everyone stopped them trading at the start of last week.
Just because some departments may have made a loss doesn't mean the majority of them weren't meeting/exceeding targets.0 -

Crap tbh
Banks have many different areas of business, some of those will be more sucessful than others
Barclays have bought one of these areas and feel that its appropiate to ensure the staff who made it worth buying continue to perform
Nothing disgraceful in it at all0 -
