Just when I think things suck around here:

I've heard of a competitor who handed out bonuses all right, but who DEFERRED them until 2009.

You can't quit or be laid off and still claim your funds.

You have to still be employed by said company on January 15, 2009 to claim your 2007 bonus.

Funny...this company is said to be acquiring a major sub prime lender...and yet...can't pay their own employees the monies they are due?
