Question:
"What do you think about this situation? An executive received notification of his bonus based on his company's 2011 performance. Angered and upset that it was so small, he sent an e-mail to his wife complaining bitterly about how hard he had worked, how under-appreciated he is, etc. The coup de grace is the 'paltry' bonus was 'only' $300,000!
