Lloyds staff get £1,000 bonuses whilst the poor owners of the business, us shareholders, get the treat of 8% drop in our investment and under inflation return in the form of a dividend at 4.65%.

yeah and as a shareholder/ owner of the business I expect the people I elect to run the business to put me before the staff when spare money is dished out.

you own shares and that's it your not an owner your just a small voiceless drop in the ocean one that cant make decisions or dictate anything to Lloyds . so get that part clear. the rates are going up so you want them to unfairly distribute the costs at the expense of their customers all in the hope you may make something on the back of the misery of ordinary people . sounds like great fun. I'm at a decent price so either way I hope they do what's best for their customers and long term they will grow .

What about the misery of the shareholders owning a share that is where it was ten years ago? What are the management team doing about them?

don't invest in shares if you can't afford to lose the money or have it locked away for an eternity . it's a con game where most retail investors lose out . that's just the way it is . some things will never change but I think we got bigger issues coming , rates are not just going up due to the economy getting better they are being forced up due to inflation that means the whole system is at risk so this is not the ideal rate rise scenario we hoped for this is damage control .

shareholders of a company own the company. Obviously the more shares you have the more say you have. Your attitude is why Directors have got away with paying enormous salaries / bonuses/ pensions to themselves for poor performance. I want the Directors of Lloyds to put the shareholders and the share price as their number one priority.....you have a different view, that's fine. We can agree to disagree.

Lloyds has 15.7% of the UK housing market. With interest rates going up 0.25% this month alone this share should be flying as margins increasing, but it's not. Management obviously are not working hard enough to drive down it's costs because it should be flying as they pass the rise on to borrowers but not savers.

yeah, I want them to increase the borrowing rates, keep the saving rates the same, make more money and give me more money in the form of dividends. What you think I own Lloyds bank shares for fun?

so they should not pass on rate rises to savers so then they take their money elsewhere and people are off high rates for lending giving them a bad reputation amougst lenders that may result in less trade and a share price that heads South even faster . great plan

8% drop in the share price in the last twelve months, but the Directors keep getting their enormous salaries, pensions and benefits for being useless. It's a joke that is seriously not funny.....time to sack the board and replace them with people who put the owners of the business first.

With Lloyds management being so bad at focusing on profit and share holder value I am wondering why I do not just have Barclays rather than splitting the money as I currently do. PPI gone, Covid gone, interest rates rising and yet this share does nothing whereas Barclays is moving up nice now.

Barclays up 3%+ today and Lloyds down as usual.....solely down to the managment. Barclays simply has better people running it than Lloyds, then again can anyone name a company with a worse managment team than Lloyds?

I am regretting not selling at 55p. My average price is 49p. Just have to be patient and take the dividend along the way.

Share value dropped 20% since I brought more at 50, I take it the Director of sustainability the bank appointed is not helping us poor shareholders.

There is simply poor management at the bank. The management are not focussing on profit maximising and shareholder value.....with such a large percentage of the UK mortgage market and no new PPI claims they should be currently producing outstanding results but they are not and they should be replaced, but us long suffering shareholders can not replace the boys club at the top so the suffering carries on.

558000000 shares are being created in order to give them as bonuses for 2021. the same year shareholder's dividend was withheld and the shareprice dived. A record low for the year today!

but the Lloyds management team are getting paid for us long suffering shareholders losing another 10% in the last year. Complete lack of focus on profit maximisation and giving share holder value.
