Up until earlier this year, I worked for MCI (UUNET when I started, then Worldcom, then MCI/Worldcom...). I was at the company all through bankruptcy. Retention bonuses were given to quite a few "executives" with the explanation being along the same lines as Northwest's.
It was complete BS.
Meanwhile, the folks on the front lines were getting pink slips (I made it through 11 rounds of layoffs) and management got paid. Now that the company is being bought by Verizon, a few executives are getting ready to make a lot of money--and additional layoffs will follow for the people at the bottom.
That's the way it works in the corporate world. Those at the top stay on top, and those at the bottom get the leftovers (if anything at all).
Sad but true...
