I need a raise... How about $622,000? - Neatorama

Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs is set to throw gigantic bags of money at its bankers, traders and stockbrokers this year - lavishing them with more than $16.5 billion in bonus loot, the most ever doled out by a Wall Street firm. The average pay of Goldman employees will be a mind-numbing $622,000 this year.

This is for you Denita TwoDragons. Show this to your boss and say "I really do need a raise." We'll see you whale watching in Hawaii soon.

At the top end of the pay scale, it has been reported that Goldman was likely to pay a "golden 25" managers, bankers and traders at least a cool $25 million each.

You probably have a "silver 500" getting $10 million each, etc.

The guys at the bottom are probably getting a hearty hand shake.

That kind of money is just mind-boggling. You could eat meat every week on that!

Cow meat, not horse!

Not reindeer or moose meat, which Neatorama seems to be obsessed about these past couple of days, Bryan?

Just makes me want to puke. I hope the recipients are very giving philanthropists.

**SNORT!!**

I'd probably see whales in the Highland Lakes before I see a raise like that! ;-)
