All I can say is this management team has to go, and with out the money.

For the first time ever I'm hoping the employees take some kind of job action over this and just shut the place down.
How many times do we as customers want to keep funding bonuses for this inept team. They have already been paid bonues to stick around. This time let em walk. We will not be any worse off than we are now.
If they get this, I'm done
Maybe US just wants these people to stay until any merger is closed and they are out of bankruptcy? If people see the writing on the wall they may leave ASAP, which would cause a bit of chaos @ CCY.
It might also mean that the merger is a no-go, and US needs current employees to stay on board for awhile...
