Getting mad at RBC is really missing the forest for the trees. Take wall street fraud as an example.
We will, of course, all acknowledge that serious fraud and mischief was committed in the highest echelons of finance that contributed to the 2008 financial crisis. To date, no individuals have gone to jail and even the most egregious and far-reaching scandal, the LIBOR scandal, has seen no one go to jail. Everyone agrees that there has been a lack of prosecution.
Ok so, while we would all FEEL better if there were more prosecutions, in the grand scheme of things, what would change? They actually did that in the 1930s and people still recollect that era fondly for the way Banksters were trotted off in chains... But what happened after? A host of regulations that were to fix the issues that created the depression were introduced, and everyone who went to jail was replaced. Their replacements immediately set about finding ways around the new regulations. Glass-Steagall was slowly diluted, decade after decade, by a concerted effort of money and influence - culminating in its eventual repeal. Despite the fact lots of people went to jail for financial fraud, CEOs in the Savings+Loan crisis in the 80s, and in the early 90s and again in 2001 and later in 2008 all did what they needed to do, or thought they needed to do for their company's bottom lines.
In short, the punishment and regulation did nothing, because the system still encouraged these leaders to take the risks they did, to committ the crimes they did, because the pressure of the systemic incentives basically demanded it.
And RBC is facing a similar set of systemic market pressures - and to single out RBC and save these 45 jobs does nothing in the face of a society wide problem that encourages our companies to act this way.
If you are truly critical of this issue you need to give RBC a pass, they are doing what the market asks of them.
What you really need to start thinking about instead - is how do we achieve a new set of incentives, such that companies like RBC are not encouraged to act this way?
This is a much tougher conversation, but its one we should start having if the outcomes of the market are ones we would rather turned out differently...
