Outraged Obama vows to block AIG bonuses

[Sosaria]

Our hero Obama is literally showing the proverbial middle finger to AIG.

 

It's really amaing how the Yankees mentality work. They are so screwed and yet at every opportunity there's this overwhelming sense of entitlement that gets in the way all the time.

 

People who despite all the screwups and getting bailouts - still entitled themselves to fat bonuses. It's amazing that they could potentially sue the company if they don't get their payouts.

 

For all bros and sis who are about to renew their car insurance, please remember to avoid AIG at all costs.

 

As well we should. Over here, employers or superiors play us out, we keep quiet, year after year through appraisal after appraisal. We should claim what we think we're entitled to.

 

Anyway, I personally think this is all just wayang. The US politicians have shares in AIG and thus, vested interests. Who dares take action?

this reminds me of the time when SIA pilots were having some problems with their management and threatened to do "stupid" things.

 

then MM went to the "rescue".

 

MM made it clear and simple - he will close down SIA and then start another airline. Then all those ppl who are trying to be funny will not get anything out of it.

 

in other words, either you are with me, or you are against me. the former being that you will still be gainfully employed, else the latter will have to find himself another job.

i wud love this (what you menitioned) .... but sadly, it is totally untrue.

 

employment is a very straightforward thing - you work for your employer, he pays you.

 

if you dun like to work there, you quit, the employer stops paying you.

 

no employer can force anyone to work, except being NSF and NSMen.

 

there is no "what we think we are entitled to".

 

many employees always think they work long time and are seniors to a company, but they always forget that every employee is expendable - this is sad, but true.

Those MCF insurance agent brothers please PM me if you have good deals. I never had a claim in my last 5 years...

Roger...I will answer ur call...Let the yankee falls

[Donut]

i cant wait to see AIG wind down!!

 

let it be a lesson learnt to other greedy corporations.

 

and it will start the reformation of the US labor union laws about fixed bonuses

 

U know, we are actually looking at the dark side of Capitalism/Free Economy idealogy.

 

The whole world, except for North Korea, Cuba, China, are praising Capitalism as the way of life with all the bullsh*t human rights.

 

This is the dark side of Capitalism that actually caused this whole damm crisis. "Greed"

 

Come to think of it, i think Spore has a good mixture of Socialism..... got capitalism, but dun give too many leeways for ppl to abuse the sysyem and socialism to control the system and the ppl.

more than 7months need to compensate but they can ask you to go back work earlier say 2 months also LL. There're a lot of all these stuff going around lah, what do you expect the girls to do? Complain and get into more trouble with company?

[Windchoco]

Think now is a seriously good time to throw your AIG shares liao... (Esp if u bought it <$1.00)

[Windwaver]

Don't worry, AIG and AIA different account. AIG die, AIA just get sold to somebody else that's all.

 

Checked liao, now AIA independent of AIG, so AIG die also nevermind

[Application9999]

AIG now stands for "Arrogance, Incompetence and Greed."

that's the reason why during these times, after deduction of 20% pay cut, i have 3 females colleague

pregnant respectively. 2 of them are FTs.

 

This baby is safeguarding their mummy's job.

Frankly, employer can come up with all sorts of methods to disturb the pregnanted ladies. It's always a struggle if you want to expose the company and get into trouble or just live with it and have a job.

I saw the report on TV .... one of the CEO's pay is USD$83 million for 1year!!

 

If assuming that the company make 20% profit margin ..... they'll have to bring in USD$400 million business!!

 

How could one person bring in USD$400 million business??
