Goldman stock tumbles following bumper bonuses. Thoughts?

Goldman's stock is getting clobbered as expenses surge - lot's of debate out there on whether bumper bonuses were justified this year. Is it bad news for bankers and compensation growth in the medium term? It's obvious that banking compensation is no longer what it used to be back in the glory days and firms do recognize the need to grow compensation to keep attracting and retaining the best talent. Why is it not viewed favorably by investors?
