UBS and Credit Suisse

I have chosen the wrong career, that's for sure. Here in Switzerland there has been many discussions lately about the bonus programs that corporations have, banks in particular. UBS for example have reduced their 16 billion francs bonuses last year to "only" 2 billion this year. This after having received support in form av cash from the government. Their average salary according to SF1 a couple of days ago is 297,000 swissies. Average!?! Credit Suisse is less modest with an average salary of 337,000 swissies. Fuckin' robbers are what they are. Good thing I moved my business away from these greedy bastards. Third on the list was Baloise, an insurance company, with 142K and fourth Novartis with 115. Why a global crisis? Anyone?

'UBS and Credit Suisse'
wow, scary. it enough to make you sick all the money that some people have, especially if the average tax payer is bailing them out. but your company must be getting close to the fifth position, no?
