I can understand if you've worked for the company for a number of years and might actually get a sizable chunk of cash when you get laid off (notice I said "when"), but if you're new to AIG you might want to reconsider wasting your time there, unless you've got a cushy paycheck and want to hang on while the $$$ lasts.
I was laid off from AIG over a year ago and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I used to believe the company mantra that things were getting better. The original 3 CEOs that lead the firm had me convinced but Duperreault (the 4th) was the clincher for me when he told everyone that no one should say at a job for more than 3 years. Goes to show you what's on his mind!
For everyone I've spoken to who has left AIG (by choice or layoff), ALL are happier where they are now than they were at AIG. That's telling you something.
If the stock ticker for AIG for the last 10 years was an electrocardiogram, even the most conservative doctors would have pronounced the "patient" (AIG) DEAD long ago.
New CEOs and their senior managers who keep coming in to "help" are really just s—ing the company teat drier with their high price tags and golden parachutes. They don't care and they never will.
Stop wasting your time and find a better job. Shoveling sh*t in the cow barn would be more rewarding and probably smell better too.
