Turns out that was a mistake. I was hoping this would be the place that would provide me with a better chance of moving forward with my career but instead, I hit an unbreakable wall of nepotism once again. Now I'm looking to leave again, with nothing... — read more

A colleague left after a month

IT Issues
Does anyone know what's going on with all the IT issues lately? My co-workers are also having different issues as well. Kind of scary.
PCG
I see a lot of people jumping ship from PCG. Is something about to happen and these folks are just getting out by themselves in advance?
NO RTW Guidence

Return to office
Should be delayed. People are getting very sick with the delta covid variant, double vaccinated. I personally know of someone. This virus is highly contagious.
I think I'm being forced out
Does anybody else get the feeling they're being forced out? I'm being given an unreasonable amount of work as well as things to do that were never part of my duties before and which I know very little about? It feels like I'm being set up to fail... — read more

Does anyone know why we are required to work one day a week in the office. There is no logical or even good business reason why that I can think of myself

Why no voluntary buyouts?
Why won't AIG do voluntary buyouts? Normal companies do this. Why no plan, knowledge transfer to offshore contractors? We all know AIG wants to rid itself of tech FTEs. Because of poor execution, now we have skills gaps where we end up having more... — read more
What are the signs to look for?

You're going to feel a sting, that's your pride, forget that s***
To paraphrase the scene in Pulp Fiction where Marcellus Wallace tells the boxer(bruce willis) to take a dive. That is how it feels to be a low level manager at AIG. Just go out there are tell your team if they work hard they will get a raise, be... — read more
August layoffs?
Anyone know whether there will be layoffs in August?
Mid-Year Review
Probably the stupidest waste of time I have ever encountered. Are you on track to hit your goals? Yes I'm on track to hit my goals. AIG cares about your career. Really, why then do I outperform my goals every year and never get promoted? Why is... — read more

Going back to office and drop in motivation

July 23, 2021 -- Today is the day that IT at AIG died
Many of AIG's IT professionals will be leaving today. IT will never be the same. All I can say is good luck to those that remain. R.I.P.
Welcome back to the office
Looks like they’re bringing us back to the office September 14th. Many other companies are offering incentives to come into the office, or get vaccinated. Sure doesn’t look like that’s the situation from this first announcement. — read more
Too early to retire, too late to start again
Let me tell you, being laid off while being a middle-aged man (I'm assuming the same is true for women) is a mess. I'm still years away from retirement but I'm at an age where every employer sees me as a potential outdated burden instead of an... — read more

What reasons did you have for leaving?

If you are under 35.....
You are doing yourself a disservice by working here. In 10 years don't say you weren't warned.
When did you lose all motivation?
That is, how long have you been working here without any motivation? It’s really awful to work anywhere just for the sake of payment. Very often I feel sorry for customers, but simply this company no longer provides any motivation for employees... — read more
Will we finally become inclusive for the best people?
I think that the professional and talented people are a minority here. I wonder why AIG has long treated the worst those who are the best workers? The best people are constantly given more and more reasons to leave AIG, and their positions are taken... — read more
Can morale get any lower?
I'm not sure it's possible. I've noticed that everybody I work with seems depressed. Our productivity is suffering but how do you motivate people when we have to deal with constant layoffs, a belligerent manager, no recognition for hard work, and so... — read more
