Time for me to jump in.
I am an ex bank employee and was fortunate to be involved in a bank "reward and recognition" program. We had about 100 of us for a weekend at Hyatt Coolum and had a great weekend. The program was a way of recognising good performance and we in the team at the branch I worked at put in really hard to get it. The next year a story appeared about this same program in the press and it was reported as a junket for fat cat bankers!
I find the bank bashing amusing. I know of an aquaintance of mine who I worked for who would complain loudly everytime any bank didn't pass on a rate cut in full, but in his own business if a supplier cut prices no way would he pass that on.
His moral was if a bank does it they are rogues, if he does it then he is a smart businessman.
