Dear AIG:

It has come under my attention that your financial executives will be expecting nice juicy bonuses despite performing under your expected level. I was also informed that while people lament their loss of jobs (some of them no doubt from your very same company), you enjoy the comfort of a bonus that would allow more workers rather than skim even more out.

Your original defense for this was that removing these bonuses would scare away the talent that keeps your business together, but it seems that your finance team is not justifying this. Yes, yes, you are honoring contracts and that is all well and good, but what about the contracts of those below you that were cut off? Sorry AIG, but you should know that saying about fooling someone once and twice: it's a shame, but I'll find it hard to believe if people will actually buy it.

So while I ponder this between my attempts to find other ways to get the hell out of your industry, I only hope that you get what you deserve. Senator Dodd has suggested a special tax placed on people given bonuses. It would only seem fair, wouldn't it, to extend your legerdemain to clients, only to have that very "gracious" benefit squeezed out of you the same way, wouldn't it? Oh, but of course, this will only make you lament and cry and clip even more of your "expendable" staff until you rot your own money-growing tree from the inside out.

At this rate, I only question what the corporation would be worth if it was disbanded and assimilated into Geico or some other government-origin industry. You're already holding our country's (and, consequently, the world's) economy back thanks to your money grubbing and I hope you get forced to live among the impoverished Haitians who probably make in a year what you make in an hour.

In short, eat a douche,


Me
