AIG BONUSES: A WIFE'S TALE!
BETRAYED BY EVERYBODY: COUMO, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, AND LIDDY, CEO OF AIG!
Sent to London on a 2 to 3 year commitment, half a house left in storage in CT, we have been here 'indefinitely' for 11 years pushing 12. We were unable to press for anything more than the ex-pat package we were given at the beginning and lost even housing support after the first 5 years.
Our housing costs rose to 5 times what we paid in Connecticut. The salary did not.
Raises were only given in the 'bonus'. So imagine having to pay 5 times your mortgage or rent on your current salary with the promise of the rest of your compensation to come once a year, in December. How do you leave that job? Do you leave in December and disrupt your children's education? Well, not without a very good reason. Do you leave at the end of the school year and essentially throw away 6 months of under compensated work? Not likely.
Oh and, a percentage of your paycheck you will be forced to 're-invest' in the company for 5 years before you will see it.
