Bankers threaten to resign.

[Combwork]

No I'm not making it up. After the government (who after bailing them out with taxpayers money own more than 50% of the bank) told Royal Bank of Scotland chiefs "no bonuses this year", the greedy bastards have threatened to resign. All of them.

I'd say let them go. No severance pay; let them walk. OK, lets not be mean. We could give them their bus fare, but only if they ask nicely. There must be enough genuinely skilled and well motivated people out there willing to do the job for a fair salary. Remember, when those pricks claimed to have made a lot of money for the bank, it was the the banks money they were gambling with, not their own. When it all went tits up it cost them nothing. It's like playing poker with money going to you if you win while your employer covers your loses.
