dont get me wrong, i think its just fair that jaguar puts off bonuses, but even daring to note that as a headline… its what all others should do, too. make the ceos and their bunch earn less anyway; alongside top-management… will it really hurt them to earn only 49gazillions instead of 51gazillions a month? dont think so.
then, increase shareholder benefits alongside “average employee wages”, and reduce prices… thats way to go… but, of course, the ceos couldnt afford their 72nd ivory backscratch then anymore… poor them…

put off bonuses? how is that noteworthy? i take it, all automakers are seeling less now than they did in last years 1st quarter or in 2007s 1st quarter, so why should their managers get a bonus for that? loosing ground?

thats where all the extra-bucks go you have to pay for anything on the upgrade list… ever thought about how the car industry alongside maybe the petro-companies are the only ones to actually raise their prices when everything else is getting cheaper?

How will this affect Indian-Pakistani relations? The article doesn’t say, leaving readers to speculate.

Apu: Well, it may not pay much, but at least it’s good, honest work.
Kwik-E-Mart Customer: How much for this expired carton of milk?
Apu: Twelve dollars!

Wow…so 450 cuts and suspended bonuses are “serious peril”, eh? Most companies in America are suspending bonuses, freezing wages, etc – even if they’re doing just fine.

It’s called “being prepared to weather the storm”.
