AIG giving out retention bonus'

[wtf]

let me get this straight, AIG gets a mountain of cash from the US government to stay in business, then give retention bonuses to staff who will never get hired by anyone else.

then tell the lucky employees to LIE about it!

i got a feeling the house/senate will get weary of this and take action. we are all allowed to dream, arent we?

our company got 3.5 billion from a program that we admittedly only wanted to help preserve our AA rating... Basically we wanted it because hey if you have the option to get 3.5 bill why wouldn't you?
