Thread regarding AIG (American Intl Group Inc.) layoffs

Where is AIG going?

With such highly paid management, you would expect that BD and his directs would be able to articulate AIG's strategy for the next couple of years, but they never do that. We may buy companies, like the US division of BD's Bermuda company, so besides his $42 million salary, he got compensated by AIG buying his share of Hamilton Insurance. This AIG business unit has been around for two years as an AIG entity and has yet to make a dollar. They did the same some years back for AIG's CFO Doug Daschille when they bought his company. The only known strategy that has been for AIG been "Expense Reduction".

Wonder why none of the financial gurus never ask BD the question in the subject line!!

The RIFs continue with wholesale outsourcing of its competitive advantages, IT & Operations, where new products could rapidly be brought to market. Only id--ts believes that costs are reduced by outsourcing. The outsourcing company needs to make increased profits every quarter too and they can only do that by increasing their costs!!

AIG cannot be RIFing only older people only, because they would be subject to age discrimination lawsuits. They provide RIFed employees with a list of titles/age of individuals that were part of the RIF.

Why it is good for talented folks is that they can very quickly find new jobs and realize that it is better to work for a company that is not in decline. There are a lot of employees who are a couple of years from retirement and want to be RIFed, so they can start their retirement earlier with the big severance payout.

Funny how some employees think RIFF’d is better pay? Where is the logic in that??? The most hidious act AIG is doing is RIFing older people who have several years before retirement- how is that paying RIFed better??? Seriously

Funny how AIG paid its RIFFed employees better than the ones they didn't fire. And they rarely promote from within, the preference is to hire from outside.
