Executives at Wall Street firms that did not receive bailout funds from Washington (or have since paid it back) seem to be expecting to do fine this year: According to a poll by eFinancialCareers.com, "more than a third of Wall Street finance professionals surveyed expect their bonuses to increase for 2009." Those who work at Citigroup or Bank of America won't be as lucky, clearly. In what the Wall Street Journal describes as the most "intrusive" move into corporate compensation (but which others might just call "pretty reasonable"), pay czar Ken Feinberg revealed today plans to "clamp down on compensation at firms receiving large sums of government aid by cutting annual cash salaries" and shifting a chunk of it into company stock.
