Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How?
Sad

New Chief Actuary - Why the Secret?
I've heard there's a new chief actuary, but I see no news of it on the internet. Why is it being kept secret? I don't think the company feels shame for hiring two chief actuaries for the same role within a year.
Greed - just plain ol' greed
No wonder raises have been non existent and they have cut back on all the employees benefits. Very greedy and over paid Management with underpaid non management workers. Their salaries along with the STI, Long Term Incentives and additional stock is... — read more

Always err on the side of layoffs
Regarding more layoffs, if you have doubts and management won't confirm anything, I would assume the worst given it IS AIG. IT has taken huge hits in past 6 months, and I wouldn't expect the business side to escape unscathed, either. Glad to see they... — read more

Same amount of management, less workers- a “great” recipe
