AIG Bonuses

In Finance on March 26, 2009 at 7:02 pm

I don’t know about you but I’m not happy with the bonuses the bankers received! I think they forgot what the meaning of EARNED income is versus BAIL OUT funds. I wouldn’t mind at all that they received bonuses if they had earned them – but they didn’t…we did. They point to the contracts but what a farse! That contract is between them and the company. The funds did not originate from the company – they came from the government.

The failed bankers on Wall Street have been complaining that if they have to cut bonuses and salaries dramatically, they’ll be unable to recruit great talent, and they need great talent to fix the situation. I have heard that during the dot com bust as well. And for years, executive have been claiming that they need to pay CEOs $50,000,000 salaries in order to recruit the very best for their companies. This, of course, is nonsense.

Twenty years ago, their salaries were a tiny fraction of what they are today. Did they do less work? Did they try less hard? Think lesser thoughts? Of course not. The reasons salaries are high in many cases is due to greed and believing they need to support lavish lives. I don’t have any problems with living the life of their dreams. But when the market changes and you believe you are now entitled ..well…

You can’t place all the blame on them – we didn’t hold them accountable. I believe there are still 1,000 totally qualified applicants waiting for their jobs. So, when demand is high and supply is low, the power goes to the supplier. Lower the salary until you get the best qualified applicants, right?

Get Rich Quick

As long as there have been people who want to get rich, there have been get rich quick schemes. They used to be in the back of the magazines, you see them on late night TV or someone at the office found the “next best thing”. There have always been people looking for an opportunity.

Automatic websites, newsletters that have the exact timing for huge profits in the market or register with us and we will build a business for you – there’s a long history here. The schemes tend to have a few things in common. They tend to have the same patterns, tone of voice, “just here to help you” messages and most of all, they all seem too good to be true.

Being too good to be true is the key part, because if it’s too good to be true, maybe, just maybe, it is true. My father used to tell me, “If you are told you are going to get something for nothing, THEY will be getting the something and YOU my son will be getting the nothing.” Did I listen? Of course not, it was my dad who told me…

Now with the ease of getting online, and the current economic challenges people are facing, this has blossomed. You’ll see the long long web pages filled with ALL CAPS and bright colors and testimonials and “wait there’s more!” They look alike for a reason–it’s a signal to the opportunity seeker that this is one of those.

Do they convert watchers into buyers? Sure they do. Do a few people make money? Of course they do.

What’s being sold here? Is it the riches or the hopes of riches? And what are riches? Is it money, admiration, material assets, or maybe time?

Another mentor taught me to always wait for 24 hours before I make any purchase or decision that impacts my life in a significant way. Go home and think about he told me…. And ya know, it has always made me think before I “do”.

But if you are looking at getting into business with someone – look for the best.
