I don't think most of them do either, to be honest. But a lot of the anger isn't at the rank and file, even though right now, it doesn't feel like that much of a difference.

I don't know about at other firms but my friends don't get bonuses unless they personally (meaning their clients and the accounts they manage) have profitable fiscal years.

The objections here are about bonuses to employees of companies that failed dramatically. While I am boggling at the idea of million dollar bonuses to anyone, that's a company's call if they write that in. The government bailout though, makes that a lot different in those companies.
