too bothered about people who performed well getting bonuses
Hmm, I'm not sure. I think that if the business as a whole has basically gone bust, people do look rather askance at paying out part of the taxpayer's bail-out money as bonuses to those staff who judge themselves and one another to have performed well. People want to see all that money being invested in restoring the bank's finances, rather than immediately disappearing in the direction of the nearest Porsche showroom.
(Although perhaps I'm just imputing a wider blindly-enraged factor than you are.)
