“Now, the bonuses are for 2005-2007 and it is now 2008” - perhaps you missed this in black and white.
I said - “Do they even have a public relations department at AA? Do they even care? They may have a legal obligation to reward these people. Who is responsible for that?”
You said - “So they should base bonuses on how the class warfare advocates will spin things? Yea, that’s a great business decision.”
They owe the bonuses, I’m pretty sure. Could they have put this off for six months? This has nothing to do with class warfare. It’s bad management and arrogance. They should have postponed it for six months and let the pain subside...NOT one day after their last public relations debacle.
How would you feel about having your pay check delayed six months?
