AIG Staff Threatens to Quit Over Bonuses

Article
The Article linked above goes on to say the unless the AIG staff receives their $198 million dollars worth of bonuses, they will quit. While part of me agrees with them, if you are promised a bonus you deserve to get it. Yet, there is a large part of me that essentially says “who cares about them”, they are largely responsible for the economic collapse, they don’t deserve anything. Is this a situation where it may be okay to break a previous promise?
