You say "despite", but it seems likely that the declining bonuses are simply another one of those cost-cutting measures.
Well, yeah.

Last year's "bonus" was a joke. It might not have stung quite so much if the CEO hadn't arrived to break the news in his shiny new Maserati. The prick. Everything I've ever heard about his father leads me to believe that he would have been the first to feel some pain if there was any to pass around. But he had real leadership skills and was much beloved. He certainly wasn't crass enough to play it like his son did.
