Yes, the masters of the universe are once again going to
make obscenely huge bonuses to its senior staff:
Staff at Goldman Sachs staff can look forward to the biggest bonus payouts in the firm's 140-year history after a spectacular first half of the year, sparking concern that the big investment banks which survived the credit crunch will derail financial regulation reforms.
Of course the very next paragraph seems to indicate that the nominal reason for these bonuses, retention of skilled staff, is not operative:
A lack of competition and a surge in revenues from trading foreign currency, bonds and fixed-income products has sent profits at Goldman Sachs soaring, according to insiders at the firm.
Lack of competition for
business implies lack of competition for
employees, but the bonuses keep going up.
