A recent USA Today article by Tom Krisher (2011) discussed the how GM and Chrysler are handing out substantial bonuses to their white collar workers just two years after they needed government bailouts to survive through bankruptcy protection. GM received a $49.5 billion bailout, while Chrysler got $12.5 billion. According to the article, “GM said in its statement that more than 96% of the salaried workers will get bonuses of 4% to 16% of their base pay.” If I were a stakeholder. Would this be classified as a fitting example of inappropriate self-interest decision making and why?
