RBS boss: 'Bonuses are incentives to work'

You see bonuses in every walk of life. Postmen get bonuses! To give someone incentive to do well, is not unusual. I don't think anyone should think bad to link pay to something you want someone to accomplish.

Last key sentence, there must be good linkage. Sometimes those linkages break down, they need to be strengthened. Like it or not, money is one of the things that motivates people.

We should not have a society where we say only people we like can make money. That would be stupid in a society that fails.
