Thread regarding AIG (American Intl Group Inc.) layoffs

The Layoff AIG Forum Archetypes

The Insider: The one who actually knows what’s going on behind closed doors. We’re all just here for your leaks. Keep the scoop coming.

The Doom-Scroller: The person paralyzed by layoff anxiety. If you’re this stressed, just close the tab. The cuts are coming whether you read about them or not.

The Lifer: The employee who’s been at AIG too long and doesn’t know what to do. You can Leave. Just Walk Out! If it su-ks, hit da bricks!

The Rookie: The wide-eyed new hire. Do yourself a favour and read the archives. You’re looking at your future. Get out before you become a permanent fixture here.

The Alumnus: The former employee who can’t stop checking the ex-girlfriend’s Instagram. You made it out! Go enjoy your freedom and stop posting here.

The Grudge-Holder: The one who really hates the Retail Casualty CFO. You’re shouting into a void because they aren't reading this. It’s time to drop the vendetta.

The Offshored: The one venting about their role moving overseas (and is a bit racist about it too). We hear you, but there’s nothing you can do. No one is safe from the pivot.

The Speculator: The "Any rumors?" guy. Yes, there are always rumors. It’s either layoffs or a buyout, but it’s all noise until the checks stop clearing.

The "Wait for the Severance" Strategist: The veteran who actually wants to be laid off. They’ve crunched the numbers and are actively rooting for their own department to be laid off. Good luck, we’re rooting for you too.

The Ghost of Corebridge: The person who still hasn't figured out they're no longer part of AIG. You really need your own forum.

The HR Plant: We see you.

The Remote Work Zealot: Regardless of the thread topic: Layoffs, earnings, whatever. They will find a way to argue that forcing people back to the office is the root of all evil.

The Pension Clock-Watcher: The person who has been there 25+ years and wants another round of VERP. Good luck but it’s not happening anytime soon.

Who did I miss?

@dp @dp, this is the best position to be in. In fact, some people earn more from their side hustles than from their primary job. Why not double your salary and ride the wave as much as possible?

The Lurker: doesn't post and is just around for the drama. Looking to see if there's any information pertinent to their department, but not feeling particularly stressed about the current situation. Has been around long enough to be jaded but not enough to want VERP or see a layoff.

The WFH Side Hu----r: headset on, Teams green, running a micro-economy between calls. DoorDash routes, online customer service on personal laptop, light day trading, maybe a “consulting” gig or two. Fully “available,” always “circling back.” Just trying to maximize cash flow on the company’s clock while the good times last.
