Check out the link. It's an actual memo that AIG sent to employees to inform them on how to watch out for angry people. Seriously, what kind of economy are we living when our tax dollars become bonuses for failing companies?
It's like the whole idea of being rewarded for truly good work has gone away. While executives have been asked to give back part of the bonuses, I find it hard to believe they actually will.
Think about it: If you were in their shoes, would you give back the bonus??
I would have never taken the money.
ReplyDeleteI find it especially outrageous when they said they needed it to get good people. I am good and I would be happy to work for far less--say one half a million? And what is with retention bonuses going to people who have left the company?? Duh.
Also, how is it that the President of the United States cannot just rescind the money. AIG says they will be sued. Can you imagine the security measures required by the executive who sues for his millions from a bankrupt company just bailed out by the government?? Go for it!
