If the government is willing to force Banks to redo Mortgage contracts - what is the big problem for them to force these contracts to be rewritten as well? What is their reason for holding back here?

I'm not saying I agree with rewriting any valid contract like mortgages or these employment contracts but they have already shown that they DO agree with the idea - why stop just short of these contracts?

I definitely do not believe these bonuses should be paid if they are performance driven, my suspicion however is that they are not performance driven in the slightest.
