RBS deputy gets £500,000 pension

 

Gordon Pell's pension pot was £9.8m

 

The last member of Sir Fred Goodwin's failed top team at the Royal Bank of Scotland is set to retire with a £517,000-a-year pension.

Deputy chief executive Gordon Pell will retire early next year with a pension pot worth £9.8m.

He is the last survivor from the board which presided over the bank's ill-fated expansion, including its takeover of Dutch bank ABN Amro in 2007.

RBS lost £24.1bn in 2008 - the largest loss in UK corporate history.

 

I realise high end bank bods have a different level of renumeration, but this might have been time to show some moderation seeing as public money has been

used to save their corpulent arses.

On another note, Guy Whittaker (also leaving RBS this week) seems to be doing it in a more dignified way (still earning shedloads mind). Working out his notice until a successor is found to receive a reduced lump sum and only taking the min entitlement for pension (nowt if he gets another job).

 

I know that should be expected, but given what some are like it's pleasing to know that some have some sort of semblance of decency.
