Five AIG execs say may quit over pay: report
Wall Street Journal says they're upset that pay czar cut their compensation

Five senior executives at American International Group told the bailed-out insurer last week they may quit if their compensation was cut significantly by the U.S. pay czar, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The five senior AIG executives indicated on December 1, in written notices, that they were prepared to leave by year-end, the paper reported, citing unnamed sources. Two of them changed their minds over the weekend, the paper added.

AIG, which was propped up by the government with some $180 billion in taxpayer funds, has been sparring with the Obama administration's pay czar, Kenneth Feinberg, over executive compensation.

Even Chief Executive Robert Benmosche reportedly threatened to quit last month, in part because he did not have discretion over pay packages for top executives.

Feinberg has cut average compensation for the 25 best-paid employees at companies that received multiple bailouts and is setting guidelines for pay for the next 75.

1. Good.

[newtothegame]

115. There's nothing scum of the earth about leaving because you take a pay cut.

This is the real world, people do it all the time.

[KansDem]

135. They ran their business into a cesspool, then get all pissy over having to take a pay cut...

They committed fraud.

The AIG bailout -- at $170 billion and rising -- may end up as the costliest rescue of a single firm in history. There is much debate about bonuses paid to AIG's executives. But there is far too little debate on the government's willingness to back all of AIG's obligations.

The company claims any failure by the government to do so would have catastrophic consequences. This claim is exaggerated. Serious consideration should be given to forcing AIG's partners in derivative transactions -- which are mainly buyers of credit default swaps from the company -- to take a substantial haircut.

AIG is a holding company, conducting most of its business through insurance subsidiaries organized as separate legal entities. The financial products subsidiary, which has produced the huge losses from derivative transactions that brought AIG down, is also a separate legal entity -- but AIG has guaranteed the subsidiary's obligations.

While AIG has thus far been able to cover derivative losses using government funds, the possibility of large additional losses must be recognized. AIG recently stated that it still has about $1.6 trillion in "notional derivatives exposure." Suppose, for example, that AIG ends up with losses equal to, say, 20% of this exposure -- that is, $320 billion. Suppose also that the value of AIG's current assets, including the shares in its insurance subsidiaries, is $160 billion. In this scenario, the government's fully backing AIG's obligations would produce an additional loss of $160 billion for taxpayers. Should the government be prepared to do so?

Unless you don't believe selling something you don't have isn't "fraud?"

That's "scum of the Earth."

[wpsedgwick]

167. Well said...

Fantistic comment. Well articulated. Its amazing to see the extensive amount of responses on here on this subject. Has the public finally had enough of the financial mismanagement of the financial industry? At least enough to continue vocalizing their discontent?

[KansDem]

173. Thanks, but I noticed I made a mistake...

I wrote, Unless you don't believe selling something you don't have isn't "fraud?"

It should have read:
Unless you don't believe selling something you don't have is "fraud?"
or
Unless you believe selling something you don't have isn't "fraud?"
:crazy:

Oh, and welcome to DU! :hi:

[rury]

113. GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!

And DO let the door hit them hard on their greedy, crooked butts on the way out!!!!

[penndragon69]

156. Screw those greedy bastards.

you could hire 50 harvard grads to do their jobs for one 5th of their compensation,
without even touching their salary.

They were part of the problem which nearly destroyed America (according to bush and his wall street backers.)

[PavePusher]

172. Screw Harvard grads...

That's where these people learn this type of shady dealing.

Let's have some State U. and Community College folks who hopefully learned some honest dealing.

[midnight armadillo]

2. Good riddance.

Fucking fuckups should have been fired a long time ago.

[Bitwit1234]

76. I heartly agree and I'll tell

them don't let the door hit their butt on the way out. Why do they think the taxpayer should be responsible for their outrageous salaries.

[Uben]

3. Five down, 500 to go!

Good riddance you greedy assed motherfuckers!

[DBoon]

4. lot's of us peons have had to take pay cuts

these AIG executives can stick it where the sun don't shine

[Platypus]

5. Buh-bye

Please *do* let the door hit you on the way out.

The crime is that these guys probably *could* make more elsewhere. In a just world, their past actions would preclude them ever making more than janitor wages again.

[Ready4Change]

71. 100% agree.

:toast:

[customerserviceguy]

184. Let 'em make more somewhere else, if they can

and let that be overseas, maybe European taxpayers wouldn't mind bailing them out as much as this American one does.

[BobTheSubgenius]

194. No offense at ALL, but....

I disagree. Janitors are, by and large, hard-working people, doing what they can for their families. These AIG bastards don't measure up. They should spend their days sucking cold shit out of dead bears.

I do take your point, though. :)

Oh....and welcome!

[Cirque du So-What]

6. Fuck 'em

In their minds, they've attained the status of irreplaceable demigod. As they say, nobody is irreplaceable.

I've heard the excuse bandied about for years that high salaries are necessary for attracting & retaining the best & brightest, but I never bought into that nonsense. Let these overpaid executroids go!

[Lasher]

17. That hype is the same as trickle down and invisible hand postulations.

Just rationalization to make runaway greed look like something else.

[CatWoman]

26. +5000

:thumbsup:

[Octafish]

52. That's the phrase that immediately comes to mind, followed by "Book 'em Dan-o."

They all are lucky not be in the pokey awaiting execution by firing squad.

[TatonkaJames]

103. You hit the proverbial nail

If they were the best and brightest, how did they manage to get into the situation they are presently in. It shows it's all about the money. No patriotism there !

[JDPriestly]

148. "No man is indispensable." Dwight D. Eisenhower

[izquierdista]

7. Call their bluff!!

The sooner they are exposed as do-nothings that take far more than they make for the company, the better.

[niceypoo]

47. Fire them

[bc3000]

65. No, then they'd probably have some golden parachute kick in

let them quit.

[santamargarita]

8. Don't talk about quiting - do it

[midnight]

74. Perfect response...

[GinaMaria]

9. buh-by

They are lucky they have jobs. Wonder what the job market is like for former AIG execs? Would you hire one? I sure as hell wouldn't.

[FBaggins]

10. Oh yeah... there are SO many other jobs out there for them... right?

Two of them changed their minds over the weekend, the paper added

After talking to their spouses who could at least add and subtract and pointed out the fact that 80% of a ton of money is still lots more than zero?

[bc3000]

68. Exactly!

Like they'd be able to just jump into some other grossly overpaid CEO role... please. I don't think those jobs are very easy to find these days.

Call their bluff!

[FBaggins]

94. Yep. The REASON "golden parachutes" were created

(OK... it's because "they could"... but ignoring that)

was because it is assumed that someone at that level can't just put out a resume and find a similar position. CEOs often have decades of experience with a specific company... and that experience (while valuable where earned) just doesn't transfer to other firms.

And where the experiene is most valuable is with companies that are likely to be direct competitors.

[katkat]

158. golden parachutes

I doubt that. These creeps seem to materialize at other companies quite quickly. I think golden parachutes are just another example of their huge greed. Besides, one year of their salary would keep most families in clover for a lifetime.

[meow2u3]

199. Screw their golden parachutes

What these AIG execs deserve are golden showers!

[DrDan]

11. the egos of these guys have no bounds

irreplacable . . . that is how they consider themselves.

ANYONE can be replaced.

[phasma ex machina]

175. "The graveyards are full of indispensable men." - Charles De Gaulle nt

[Selatius]

12. Then they should GET THE FUCK OUT.

There are millions of bright people who do not have egos and greed the size of galaxies who could prove just as capable if not more capable than they have. They could do the same fucking job and probably do it better for a fraction of the cost to taxpayers.

It shouldn't be a high bar to beat at any rate. The fuckers drove AIG into the ground.

[Locrian]

13. sad

Sad that they are so delusional to think they are worth ANYTHING. They produce NOTHING. They are parasites in the truest sense.

[rurallib]

14. Can I fly out and help them find the door?

I can't wait to see their resumes:
"Exec at once profitable company. Led effort to drive it beyond belief in debt. Held up taxpayers for $$billions and nobody complained."

[guitar man]

114. I'd rather

...help them find the window :evilgrin:

[postulater]

15. Let em get a real job.

Like making something or growing something or fixing something. Anything.

[Wapsie B]

16. These people truly live in another world.

For them to think they add anything of value to society is ridiculous. They're nothing more than welfare queens of the worst kind.
And here I was hoping they had all jumped off the roof after resigning. Getting my hopes up for nothing.

[SnakeEyes]

137. Does that mean...

You're going to apply for their job?

[Wapsie B]

144. No it means their jobs are not needed.

[Tansy_Gold]

18. So quit.

wankers

[mbperrin]

You two that changed your minds! NO, you can't change! You QUIT!

Now get the fuck out!

And PLEASE let this trend spread!

[Gman]

19. At will employment

CYA

[Canuckistanian]

20. Nice knowin' ya

These guys are lucky to even HAVE a job. They got their asses saved by the taxpayers.

Ungrateful bastards.

[loyalkydem]

21. Good to quote a favore song of mine

What have you done for me lately

[Lint Head]

22. QUIT NOW! You have done enough damage to the economy

of our nation! Please retire to that sterile gated community.

[tsuki]

23. Out Source them. Lazy bums. They are the reason AIG failed.

Can't work, won't work, always want more...hmmmm...sound familiar?

Oh, I forgot...

They're what's wrong with America.

[safeinOhio]

30. Bring in CEOs from China

They are use to, screw up and face a firing squad. Work for pennies on the dollar. Hey, it's a global economy now.

[mac56]

119. I've been saying that for years. Outsource CEOs.

There have to be CEOs in India and China who could do the same job or better, for less pay.

[Cass]

24. This is the division that would have brought down AIG if the taxpayers hadn't rushed in with

billions of dollars to save their sorry asses. These overpaid clueless prima donnas need to just get over themselves.

[lonestarnot]

25. JMJ!

[Alcibiades]

27. These guys are government employees

So make them GS-13s and see how they like it.

[janx]

55. Yes,

they ARE. ;-)

[HughMoran]

28. jump them in an alley

Fucking ass holes - let's show them heartache.

[AngryAmish]

29. AIG is a big company

Not all the employees sunk the beast. Yet they are punished. DOn't cry for them, they will get other jobs with signing bonuses and the ilk.

[progressoid]

31. Oh boo fucking hoo.

[Demit]

32. They're probably quitting b/c they can afford to retire on the pile they made already.

And the two who changed their minds probably haven't made their shitload yet & can't find other jobs.

[4dsc]

33. Bye-bye... Don't let the door hit you on the way out the door

[Fire1]

34. Quit then go write a book on all the dirt at AIG. n/t

[Owl]

35. Good riddance.

[Lugnut]

36. So what?

I fail to see a downside here.

[msongs]

37. so AIG lets these guys run it into the dirt, n now they want bonuses? nt

[closeupready]

38. Now THIS is progress.

More please.

[gristy]

39. Call security and walk them to the door.

Pay them through the end of the year. That's that.

[edbermac]

40. Poor guys, let's call Jerry Lewis and get a telethon going.

:sarcasm:

[Le Taz Hot]

41. And this is a bad thing?

[endless october]

42. bye.

[groundloop]

43. What, over 40 replies and no Obama haters yet???

This is CHANGE I can believe in. This is one of the many reasons I supported Obama.

[laughingliberal]

59. Unfair and uncalled for

Those who disagree with some of what President Obama has done or not done have a right to dissent. Most of us give credit for those policies which have been helpful. Calling people who dissent is names is meant to end discussion and shut up the people who don't agree with you 100%. So, bite me.

[avaistheone1]

122. +1

[avaistheone1]

125. As if anyone is going to miss these losers.

bye-bye.

[tekisui]

128. That comment makes you look silly and paranoid.

[rucky]

143. is that what you're looking for?

to each his own, I guess.

[swilton]

155. Name-calling is

the act of blaming the messenger and not the message -

How Republicon!

[Deep13]

161. Well, I'm often critical, but I don't hate him.

So I guess I'm not an Obama-hater.

I'm afraid I tend to be a big-business CEO parasite-hater though.

[tavalon]

197. There aren't many Obama haters here, but there are people

who are trying to quiet any dissent with name calling.

[LiberalAndProud]

44. Will they join the long unemployment lines then?

That would be some kind of justice, but somehow I'm thinking "blowhards".

[LibDemAlways]

45. There are plenty of people out there ready and willing to replace them.

They should be careful what they wish for.

[niceypoo]

46. They should have been fired last year

Boo fucking hoo

[Ganja Ninja]

48. I'm willing to run that company into the ground for less than half of what they make.

:shrug:

[ieoeja]

129. Mark Brown, is that you?

We have a local (Chicago Sun-Times) newspaper columnist who has been making a similiar offer from time-to-time over the years.

[ensho]

49. poor boobies, let them quit. they can go home and pout in their

kitchens.

new hires will probably do a better job anyway.

[Scout]

50. get rid of them! then pay someone who will actually DO the job right n/t

[salguine]

51. Do they expect anyone to feel sorry for them? In a just world, they'd be

dragged into the street and strapped into the guillotine.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

53. Like they've done a stellar job, NOT - AIG has no public trust - are they taking any blame for that?

[janx]

54. Hey:

"Feinberg has cut average compensation for the 25 best-paid employees at companies that received multiple bailouts and is setting guidelines for pay for the next 75."

[TankLV]

56. Either accept the LOWERED more FAIR PAY for their LOUSY stewardship - or BE OUT OF A JOB

Their choice.

I noticed how they MAY quit EVENTUALLY - but not just NOW.

YEAH = they're sure milking this one...

GO ALREADY YOU FUCKING INCOMPETANT ASSHOLES!!!

[closeupready]

58. I sooooo wish Obama would actually say this.

:evilgrin: I would worship the ground he walks on if he did.

[janx]

57. Why aren't there any names mentioned in this article?

:shrug:

What are their names?

:rofl:

[brentspeak]

60. Good observation.

For all anyone knows, the story is bogus, planted in the media to make the public believe that the Feinberg is "cracking down" on excessive pay.

[janx]

61. No, that's not what I meant.

Can you imagine what might happen if they actually listed the names of these people? :rofl:

[brentspeak]

67. Ok, I see what you mean

But I'm still suspicious, nonetheless. It's not unknown for the government to concoct phony elaborate stories (i.e. Kevin Tillman).

[laughingliberal]

105. and addresses. lol nt

[Plucketeer]

62. An insulting example of

UPPER-CRUSTEAN disconnect! Please folks - LEAVE NOW! Go take one of the many gilded positions that are just DYING to lavish un-earned billions on some undeserving dolt! :dunce:

[Moosepoop]

177. I'm thinking more like

Upper-crustacean (my apologies to all crustaceans). :P

[liberation]

63. Our system is based on the assumption that rich people must get tons of money

or they won't have any incentive to work and prosper, while at the same time we are not supposed to give any money or help to the poor because then they won't have any incentive to work and better themselves.

We need to come to terms with the fact that our economic system is based on institutionalized ripping off...

[jamesatemple]

72. A great summation, liberation! Yes, indeed. K&R!

[GrantDem]

64. Here is to hoping the door actually does hit them in the ass on the way out.

[moonlady0623]

66. Boo freakin hoo

I wish I could line up all these fat cats and bitch slap every one of them.

[laughingliberal]

69. Geezus! Quit already. We're sorry we bailed you guys out last year.

Whattabuncha whiners!

[unabelladonna]

70. good...f--k them

their pay packages are obscene. let's see who breaks down their doors to hire them.

[FlyByNight]

73. And you can let the door hit you on the ass on the way out

Given everything that's happened to the economy during and since the exit of Oblivious Maximus, do those 5 senior AIG execs possess any sense of shame?

They can go fuck themselves. Hard.

:mad:

[Hekate]

75. Don't let the door hit you on the ass, fellas. Disgusting pricks. nt

[ooglymoogly]

77. Forget bread lines for the poor unemployed;

It will be caviar lines provided by out complicit government for the rich unemployed. We know however "our" government will open the treasury at the first peep of discontent from these malcontents whose government it really is; Lock stock and barrel.

[benld74]

78. Ah Cmon folk, its the Xmas Season, dont act this way,,, They make how much? Where's the rail?

[myrna minx]

79. Smell ya later.

Now take the rest of your greedy, selfish bastards with you.

[Pretty_in_CodePink]

81. Why wait till the end of year. They can go now n/t

[ladjf]

82. That would be REAL progress! nt

[superconnected]

83. Bye! Go away now!

Talk about hubris!

[beyurslf]

84. Good. And then send out notices that any company that hires them

will also be penalized. See if making 0 is better than the "poor man's salary" that had to try to live off of.

[kestrel91316]

85. If they need work, I'll start them at minimum wage, part time of course.

[swilton]

86. Don't let the door hit them on the way out

[bertman]

87. The culture of greed. These individuals have no conscience, no shame, no sense of

responsibility to anyone or anything other than their own self-interest.

[LiberalEsto]

88. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen...

good riddance!
Spoiled brats.

[eomer]

89. 5 less guys working to devise schemes to rob us blind?

Sounds good to me.

[SoapBox]

90. I'm so sad *boo-hoo*....NOT

...let them eat cake...from a dumpster.

[Triana]

91. Byeeeee! n/t

[libnnc]

92. Don't let the door hit ya, ASSTARDS.

:nuke: :hi:

[LynneSin]

93. OMG!!! Does Walt Starr work for AIG???!!!

Don't let the door hit you on the ass as you leave!!

:rofl:

[tavalon]

198. It's comments like that

that make me glad I don't drink anything while reading DU!

I actually liked Walt, but that was classic comedy.

[grahamhgreen]

95. Good riddance - now let's go after their I'll gotten money.

[Vinca]

96. They should be paying AIG for running the company into the ground.

[City Lights]

97. Just do it.

Quit threatening and got on with it already.

:nopity:

[otohara]

98. Everyone is Replaceable

not just the low-level peons.

There's a whole lot of ego manics with a brain out there willing to sell their souls for the almighty buck.

[Chris Crew]

99. Unbelievable... Threaten to quit???

As though the banks won't be able to find someone else to work for million-dollar salaries.

[Hubert Flottz]

100. I'll bet there are some little CEOs in India of China who would love

to have those jobs. Those guys just don't want to work...lazy scumbags!

[valerief]

101. They'll probably go work for the Federal Reserve where they can steal more faster. nt

[LeftHandPath]

102. Quit? They should all be in jail.

[Historic NY]

104. Goodbye.

[treestar]

106. Having a hard time getting tears out on this one

:nopity:

[nicky187]

107. To quote former Vice President "Dick" Cheney ...

... "So?"

I am reminded of this quote:

"The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them."
Albert Einstein, (attributed)
US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)

http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/23588.html

In conclusion to AIG execs, et al., don't let that door hit you in the ass on the way out. Fuck you very much.

[greengestalt]

108. Don't let the door hit your buts, rich elite pigs

One thing Obama said, and I dearly hope he keeps following up on is this:


(Quoted best I remember)

"If a business is doing OK, I don't care what it does, what it pays it's employees, what the boss takes as long as it obeys US laws. However, if a business is in trouble and it asks the Government for help, it is making the government, the taxpayers a partner. As partners loaning money in hopes of keeping them afloat, we have a stake in it and can set reasonable demands and limits on excess."

-------------
Frankly, I think a big "Nationalization" should be implemented. The big companies have tons of good worker and ex-workers who can run the whole things quite well. The damage is done by a bunch of elites who live in ways the Gods of Ancient Rome would have called excessive and then run "Multi story outhouse" methods of management, creating a stifling, choking work enviornment with no flexibility and high stress.


Take the corporations. Kick the CEOs out, give the investors the shaft. They like to propagandize the media against "Welfare Bums that think the world owes them a living..." Well they are by far the worst of the lot, and just because they've corruptly hoarded money doesn't mean we owe them a living. Without needing money, more money, even more money just not to cause a panic, most companies could behave responsibly and pay their workers well.


It's the CEO, and the "Rich Investor" that should be "Downsized".

[NewJeffCT]

109. I will volunteer to take one of their jobs - I can even have my arm twisted

to accept less than $1 million/year.

[shadowknows69]

110. This is a loss how? I'll do the job for 1/100th of what they were making if AIG is hiring.

[robo50]

111. Even minimum wage is overpaying these people. I say let's make sure they

wind up on the unemployment lines.

[AllyCat]

112. Whaaaa!!! Fine. Pack up your toys and go home you cry babies

Wait a minute. Leave the toys. They probably belong to us.

[aquart]

116. Please, could they also hold their breath till they turn blue?

It would be so cute.

[JackRiddler]

117. Can someone finally indict them, as well as the ones who want to stay? Please?

[Initech]

118. They should all be indicted on criminal charges.

[Mopar151]

195. And How!

AIG's stockholders should be suing them for malfeasance and breach of fiduciary duty. I guarantee that any good bookie could show a courtroom how they screwed up in laying off their bets, and that they took the bets at criminally short money to begin with.

[ZombieHorde]

120. Three more high paying jobs have opened up!

I used the number three since two of the quitters have changed their minds.

[Spirochete]

121. That's a good start

A bunch of those assholes quitting would probably do the company more good than the bailout did.

[northernlights]

123. so where do I send my resume?

oh, and good riddance to your thievin' scum. Maybe now somebody competent well end up in charge...

[Incitatus]

124. Good. Go somethere else. I'm sure former AIG executive will look good on your resume.

[jeff47]

126. Be sure to let the door hit your ass on the way out.

That way it'll hurt a little more.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

127. buh-bye

c ya wouldn't want to be ya!

[dipsydoodle]

130. Recommend for making me laugh

Tossers.

[Adsos Letter]

131. "Oh, the humanity!"

:nopity:

[Yavin4]

132. If They Could Find Better Jobs, They Would've Done So By Now

Everyone on the planet knew that pay cuts were coming, so their suprise and shock is pure b.s.

[dflprincess]

133. How nice that they can afford to quit a job when they think they're being treated "unfairly".

If only we all had that option.

Has anyone let them know they won't be eligible for unemployment if they quit? However will they get by? :sarcasm:

[BR_Parkway]

134. Stop teasing us and do it already

[Raster]

136. Would these be some of the execs that were responsible for the debacle?

Good! Quit. Go get a real job...if you can find one.

[Daemonaquila]

138. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!

No, wait... Let it hit you on the ass REALLY HARD!

[Aramchek]

139. too bad for those greedy fucks! There are tons of people who would love a chance at those jobs

[MasonJar]

140. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Javaman]

141. So, will these 5 assholes be to big to quit?

If anyone in our government asks these crooks to stay, "oh please, screw us some more, we haven't had enough yet!", I will be done with the whole process.

I know our nation is an oligarchy but I like to at least live in the charade that what we say still matters, even though I feel like I'm yelling into black pit most of the time.

[rucky]

142. For some reason, I don't think I'll be seeing them in the food stamp line. n/t

[SaveOurDemocracy]

145. I'm sure they can be easily replaced. Buh-bye

[Jackpine Radical]

146. Don't let the golden door

hit your expensive ass on the way out.

[shanti]

147. rich as croesus

and still whining...what's wrong with these a-holes?? you can't take it with you! :grr:

[barbtries]

149. so let them fucking quit!

jayzus. what are their prospects elsewhere? these people make me so sick i could scream.

[susanr516]

150. Buh-bye. eom

[LaPera]

151. They are bluffing, where can they go to suck up such easy money & who gives a fuck if they do quit

Good riddance!

[mainer]

152. What's their compensation? Anyone have any numbers?

Just curious about what they consider insultingly bad compensation.

153. I know a car wash that might hire them

...but they'd have to share the tips. They might have a problem with that.

[Deep13]

160. Ask for references before hiring them. Just sayin'.

:evilgrin:

[DireStrike]

154. They won't fucking quit

It's still the sweetest deal around.

Throw your hissy fits, boys. You just better hope all this shit holds together.

[Odin2005]

157. Don't let the door hit your asses on the way out.

[Deep13]

159. AND STAY OUT!!!!

How come when those Fox idiots bitch about entitlement mentality they are talking about people who want health care and heat in the winter and not about these parasites?

[Gormy Cuss]

162. Only five, and two already backed down?

Maybe this pay czar thing is a good idea after all.

[cliffordu]

163. Well......

BWAHAHA AHA AHAHAH AH HA HA A HA AHA H

Seizure later!!!!

fuck me that's funny.

:rofl:

[winyanstaz]

164. Good let them leave...

and I hope the door hits them in the ass on the way out.

[on point]

165. Will make US more competitive!

Great!

Let this be the start of reining in all corporate salaries which are way too high. It is not the American worker who is uncompetitive, it is American management across the board be they Insurance, banking, or production. They typically 10 times, or more, what a Japanese or Euro boss makes.

I am sure there are qualified workers who would be happy to replace them.

[fascisthunter]

166. I've got a suggestion: just open a window and jump

this country would do well with less greedy uppercrust parasites.

[bkozumplik]

168. GOOD. BYE

they should be quitting for incompetence anyway.

[katty]

169. just go already!

[FunMe]

170. Need emails to send them PINK SLIPS

Anyone have their emails so we can just give them their pink slip with the YOU ARE FIRED message?

[DailyGrind51]

171. Good riddance, and don't let the door hit ya on the way out!

[The_Commonist]

174. Awww, poor babies!

These assholes will still be crying all the way to the bank.

[Generic Other]

176. And they better not even think of taking cuts in the unemployment line!

Here's hoping all their property gets repo'ed and they end up on welfare and food stamps by next year.

I will laugh all the way to their competitor's bank.

[yurbud]

178. they should thank god they didn't end up in prison as someone's sex doll

which is where they belong.

[d3m0l1sh3r]

179. Jackass Money-Hogs

Come on AIG people/others like them.
You already make more money than most other people, just take the cut and still be rich. Jesus freaking christ.
The world would be a much better place (or country, i guess) if we just took the high up people in corporate America and put a cap on their pay. They don't need that much money and it would most likely fix a lot of problems. Somehow I don't see the Capitalism today letting that happen, though...

[TroglodyteScholar]

180. Fucking go already, losers. You were never worth that much in the first place. n/t

[rhett o rick]

181. Here's your hat....what's your hurry? nt

[tomm2thumbs]

182. they don't want stock benefits because they have no interest in making the company work?

sounds like a jump-the-ship strategy to me... no one needs captains who are throwing water into the boat instead of trying to take it out of the boat

[earth mom]

183. Let em quit. Who gives a fuck?

:puke:

[sabrina 1]

185. Why weren't they fired? The sheer arrogance and greed

of these people is stunning. Sometimes I think they are mentally ill. They have no grasp on reality, and the government is like an indulgent parent, who, instead of taking control of their out-of-control children, keeps on rewarding their bad behavior.

Disgusting, despicable behavior when so many are starving in this country, one in every four children on food stamps eg, as a result of their greed.

[zogtheobvious]

186. WAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

:cry:

:nopity:

[crim son]

187. Fine. That's their choice and I, for one, don't give a shit. n/t

[Usrename]

188. Say it ain't so

How will we contain our grief?

[Leftist Agitator]

189. Good riddance!

They should rightfully be executed, but whatever...

[notadmblnd]

190. I think their sense of self importance is overrated.

[donheld]

191. Good

:nopity:

[Not Sure]

192. Aww...

Suck it, quitters.

Each of these assholes should be forced to be each other's financial advisers. That way no innocent people will be bled dry.

[tiny elvis]

193. jump you fuckers

[KakistocracyHater]

196. now you see: outlaw ceo position, it has no use, except to pay exorbitant

compensation for a loser/losers who scalp taxpayers' money when they've finished running the corps. into the ground. ceo only promotes short-term targets, promotes zooming the stock prices(gaming the system), emptying the pensions, & chasing the world's cheapest worker.

[JVS]

200. oh noes
