Ok. Here's a hypothetical (actually no longer such a hypothetical scenario). The shareholders are the tax payers in a financial institution where the employees have been quite handsomely paid till now. Who gets paid first - employees or shareholders ?
To clarify: I think it's really a sad state of affairs when the people who commit most of their waking hours to a company and depend on their salary for day-to-day living aren't the ones who are paid first.
Everyone knows: Bros (employees) before 'hos (shareholders).
