Ah, the old 'executive privilege' clause. I wonder if it's written in invisible ink on the back of their business cards.

Wait, the bank has an 'employee benefit program'? I thought their main benefit was just keeping their jobs!

This is a classic case of 'the rules don't apply to me' mentality. I bet the executives are trying to find a loophole to get a better deal. Not on my watch!

Collateral? Really? That seems like overkill. As long as the executives are meeting the same credit standards as everyone else, they should be able to get the same rate, no questions asked.

Hold on, I think the key here is that the program has to be available to everyone at the bank. If that's the case, then the executives should be able to take advantage of it too.

But what if the program is available to everyone at the bank? Shouldn't the executives be able to participate as well?

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm pretty sure the bank can't give its executives any special treatment, even if it's part of an employee benefit program.

I agree with Theresia. It wouldn't be fair to other employees if the executives get special treatment.
