Jan Klimkowski Wrote:Crosby also offered to hand back 30% of his £580,000-a-year pension. He will still collect £406,000 annually in pension payments 80 times as much as the average private sector worker. On Tuesday he also quit his £125,000-a-year role on the board of catering company Compass.
Presumably that only covers his pension at HBOS from 1994 until 2006 - 12 years. Or £33,830 per year, per years of service in payout terms.
I assume it doesn't cover the pension entitlement from yes, his time as deputy chaifrman of the Financial Servces Authority, from 2006 until his resignation in 2009. That would be another 3 years and if the payout is similar another £100k odd annually. This is not to even mention his previous occupation prior to HBOS, or his annual bonuses and profit shares.
He's doing okay.
My guess is that he was given the choice, loose the knighthood or his full pension. The reason I say this is because I know someone, a banker, who was given a choice too (under different circumstances, admittedly). He could have his giant profit share or a knighthood, but not both. He took the money.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
