Hm.. I worked at a bank whose shortened name rhymes with "Damn'l" that did a LOT of things similar to this article to get younger candidates and college students onto their teams. A few personal examples.. 10k startup bonuses and great pay for the mediocre tech graduates who never stay - largely because of the lack of respect they get. At the same time, I was the youngest on the team, including the college grades and got no such bonus, despite having a "higher" than theirs. I still don't really see what they were trying to do there (besides the obvious) and why.. At the same place I was told by my manager, "I had to step out for a phone call when representing you in bonus talks, so you're not going to get a good bonus. Sorry about that." Sure enough, I got an insulting (in comparison to my peers) bonus and not an extra dime in pay. When I quit, my boss paraphrasingly said, "You should stay because we're severely underpaying you and can increase your pay at any time." Yeah, right. A portion of my work was making sure things were good during Sunday market opens...... by myself until an hour after market open when an offshore team got on. When I quit, that shift had to be handled by four people. Can't give a good bonus, my fucking ass. The complete lack of empathy at places like these is mind boggling.
