Great postI think a pay cut might be seen as a sign of weakness but personally agree given the overall situation that bonuses are absurd.
I'd wager they thought they had something in the bag and then got shafted once again.
But of course the bonuses still stuck because why not hey?
I'll consider voting for their remuneration and their grubby tactic of packaging the bonus along with it but they can shove the bonus up their arse either way imo.
I go back to thinking how (by their own admission) they dropped the ball during covid and the rot set in. We've been paying the price ever since as they try to dig us back out. Nobody’s perfect but awarding themselves bonuses is insulting. At least until we're out of this mess and then they can go along carrying on like normal corporate crooks do.
If there was a viable alternative other than treacherous Chinese backed morons with sinister motives I'd be seriously considering it. But alas there isn't and we need to back the BOD to safeguard our own interests. But this BoD needs to prove up some results, they need to pick up their game or face a major shake up imo. Those praising them at this point in the game are drinking the coolaid in fantasy land. This isn't a pretty picture with everything taken into consideration and the BoD aren't the fucking Virgin Mary in the picture either imo.
