I have been working here for a very long time. It used to happen that someone left relatively quickly after getting hired, but these were very rare cases.
Now it is not at all unusual for someone who has only been here for two months to leave AIG. Did you notice it too? The management should ask themselves why this is so.

I’m sure it’s a bit of a mix. Some of it’s the new job market, and some of it is seeing the fire from within makes you realize how fast the ship is sinking.
As bad as AIG is, there’s probably worse out there. And if they’re coming from those companies, it would make sense they might stay for a little while.
That said, the other half to this is: if you've been interviewing all over, some companies move at different speeds. If AIG offers you a position, and you take it... Then another company you've been interviewing with finally gets back to you with an offer, it could just be a weird, but normal phenomenon. I know I'm applying everywhere all the time. And if someone comes back with a much higher offer than what I already accepted, that's a cr---y thing, but I've gotta do what's best for my family.
Think you might be seeing what you want to see…You forgot Lisa Buckingham, the quickest hired/fired exec ever. Just google her name + AIG and you’ll see.
As much as I’m sure people want to say there’s some massive trend of that, the job market now is also very different than it was a year ago, two years ago etc. so that otter could be trending at many companies.
