Yeah, I mean if a company doesn't have any money (or not any that legitimately belongs to it anyway) and didn't make any profit but ginormous loses, you'd think the best employees can hope for is still getting paid the regular amount at all, rather than going under with it or negotiating pay or work hour cuts to salvage it. It's just really bizarre that their contracts apparently give them "bonuses" (which by their very name you'd think would be something extra that a company pays only when they do well) no matter their or the companies performance.
But then I remember a bit back here bank managers who lost over 2.5 billion euro and got their bank ruined (so that it had to be taken over by another bank with government help too iirc) still insisted on getting over 400 million euro in bonuses, and actually intend to go to court to get that money. It's unbelievable. But apparently whatever contracts investment bankers have don't work based on Earth Logic no matter where they are. Like, I think I remember the headlines about how The Royal Bank of Scotland had losses in the double digit billion range and their the managers still got over a billion in bonuses...
