Reply #17: I found a site where AIG employees can log complaints

[Plucketeer]

I filed these thoughts for their consideration....

Like so many other citizens of the United States, I am shocked, outraged and insulted with the wanton contempt that the CEOs of AIG have towards us. We BAIL your incompetent butts out because you're supposedly "too big to fail", and you have the unmitigated GALL to whine that if you can't have your "bonuses" (blackmail leverage, from my vantage point!), you're going to go "elsewhere". God dammit - you're gonna make me cry.

Out here in the REAL world, the wife and me struggle to make ends meet each month - me on SS and her hanging in there in hopes the promised "carrot" of retirement keeps swinging from it's stick for another four years. Meanwhile, you fat cat ass holes are crying that you can't have your EXTRA millions to support your lavish existences.
Guys - if we who are bailing down here in the bilges, and balking at dining on the rats - are irritating you while you eat at the Ritz - PLEASE! Show us your importance and LEAVE! Leave our AIG in the "lurch" you seem to think is YOUR insurance policy. Certainly, things couldn't get any WORSE if you left!

In spite of my being a simple citizen/bailout participant, I've listed myself on this form, as an employee of AIG. Technically, that's not true - but I/we damned sure OUGHT to have a say in how AIG conducts itself when I'm floating it a loan to keep it from collapsing!


Bonus........... In my little, insignificant world, a bonus is an UNEXPECTED little "extra" that your boss or your company CHOOSES to hand you because you've done a good job and they want to show their appreciation. It's NOT a make-or-break thing that you decide to quit over, and it's not something that's contractually pre-agreed to. In the case of AIG, your threat of leaving over bonus suppression is a contemptuous INSULT to we wee ones. Of course, in your chauffered limos with the darkened windows, how could you ever detect the collective scowl on our faces?
