Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

Deserve's got nothing to do with it
A sane business pays bonuses to ANYONE working in it only when it makes an overall profit.
If the trading division of BigBank Plc makes a profit, you should still get fuck all in bonuses unless the topline BigBank Plc accounts also show a profit.
Anything else is stealing shareholders' money.

And yet the shareholders continue to approve the accounts and remuneration reports of the big banks by landslides - seems the shareholders don't care that much

Entirely unrelated to...
...the fact that the majority of shareholders by holding are a relatively small number of institutional investors on the same cushy, old-boys network of boards and remuneration committees, I'm sure.
Worker representation on boards and remuneration committees seems to stop boardroom self-indulgence in places like Germany. Could the two possibly be connected?
