Should a bankruptcy judge grant Solyndra's high paid employees bonuses?
According to the Washington Times,
"The attorneys say the extra money will add motivation at a time when workers at the solar company have little job security and more responsibilities because so many of their colleagues have been fired.
The names of the bonus-eligible employees are not disclosed in the court filings that outline the bonus proposal. None of the employees is among the so-called corporate “insiders” — top officers or members of the board of directors, records show.
The proposed bonus recipients include nine equipment engineers, six general business and finance employees and up to two information technology workers.
The biggest bonus, for ,000, would go to a Solyndra employee whose job title is listed as a senior director with a base salary of 6,499 per year. Two senior managers stand to receive bonuses of ,000 and ,500.
Bankruptcy attorneys said the so-called “key employee incentive plan” aims to keep important personnel from leaving the company."
Should a company that grew as a result of a (defaulted) government guaranteed loan be giving bonuses to it’s high paid staff?
