Consider the Total Cost of Jerks to Your Organization
Whatever the name, the company is the same. I cannot think of another company that has a worse reputation right now. I personally don't care if it's a subsidiary of them or the corporate office, the money floats up. And we have all seen how the corporate office handles their money.
I understand how intricate the relationships are with AIG and all the companies and banks around the world, and why the government felt it best to bail them out, but enough is enough. I don't care if they do change their name; it won't make a difference to the consumers out there that feel screwed over by a company who just keeps misusing their trust.

Should You Still "Stay the Course" with AIG?
We have a big problem at work. One of my co-worker is a big jerk and my manager is following his foot steps. In every meeting my manager call this coworker "the best of the best" or "the man that does the job" The only thing that he is good ad is being a jerk, disrespectful, dishonest....if I continue my list will be very long. Now, the problem is not only the jerk, but the manager humiliating and underestimating his other workers. I got enough with the situation. I cannot tolerate this behavior. How can I address this behavior?
Thanks ...
