Bonuses Uncertain for Bloomberg Election Aides
I love this. Karma is a bitch. In the mayoral election just passed, a whole lot of Democratic political consultants betrayed their party to help Mike Bloomberg win re-election. Why'd they do it? Because Hizzoner the Billionaire promised to pay them vastly more money than they could earn working on Democratic campaigns. They were so friggin' greedy, so consumed with doing well rather than doing good, that they showed their true beliefs, their true colors, their true motivation, their true attitude towards the public good, by abandoning their party and helping a Republican win a third term. After all, who cares about the dying middle class in this city when Bloomberg can help these consultants rise above the middle class?
Uh-oh. Something happened on the way to the bank. Something nobody expected. Bloomberg won his third term -- by a humiliating 51%! He was supposed to win in a landslide but barely squeaked by a broke, unknown opponent. For the first time in his eight years in power, Bloomberg looked foolish.
Bloomberg is pissed. He didn't spend all of this money for that. Now these greedy consultants might not get their big bonuses. They might get the shaft! They pissed off their party because their greed got the better of them -- and now they might not get all that money after all!
Serves them right. Bastards. I hope they not only not get their bonuses (or get severely reduced bonuses) but that they become unemployable. I hope they never work again. Why would any Democrat hire these pricks ever again? Why would Republicans hire them either -- after all, they screwed up! So it looks like they might be joining that withering middle class after all. And if we're lucky, they'll fall out of that as well.

I'm going throug the same thing at my job, working for a hospital and my superiors make promises of providing pay bonuses for all my assistance. The only problem is this promise have been on going for more than 18 months with no proof of loyalty, however I've noticed certain higher uppers seem to brag more and more about mysterious bonuses and appear to have more money to toss around.
ReplyDeleteTheir excuse is "We're going through very difficult times because of the economy and political red tape", what a steaming load!
Every conversation out of their mouths is about how much they have, will have, or could have should they layoff some employe's.
Greed has turned them into souless, vile, zombies.
