AIG Internal Audit Layoffs (January 2018)
People in the Houston and Nashville internal audit department January 2018.
Update?
new layoffs must have been announced as a couple of former colleagues still at AIG reached out to me this week after a long spell.
Continuous layoffs
layoffs have been going on (continually) in Finance. Kept very quiet. I do expect layoffs in Q1 2018 given our latest quarterly results. Layoff people earlier in the year so you don't have to give them a full bonus for the year. There's little doubt... — read more
AIG-Clearwater Spells Doom for NY/NJ/Wilton Investment Tech
The AIG-Clearwater deal spells doom for most ex-Wilton NY IT workers. The idea is to outsource the mess that Wilton executives were originally tasked with fixing (but instead they just inflated the mess.) The BPO deal will mean hundreds of cuts... — read more

Rob Schimek going out the door
Anyone hear how the changes being made regarding Commercial and Personal insurance as being General Insurance is going to affect AIG? Is this change good or bad for the company?
AIG has no concept of business operations
If AIG customers knew what is going on in AIG, they would definitely question why they and their families are insured through a third-rate company, one which treats it's own employees like **** and has no concept of business operations. No one should... — read more
AIG returns to glory days (well, senior pay packages do, anyway)
It will take a lot of layoffs to offset these packages.
Company focus
Hearing that company wanting to get rid of as many employees over age 40 as possible , anyway as wants younger staff hoping to stay current
Claims
Trying to force people to retire, also trying to fire as many people as possible. Hearing they are selling off workers compensation.
Change fatigue
Do not expect much organizational change in 17. The dip in morale is being attributed to excessive management churn and current manage is using this excuse to defend staying put. It's unfortunate, because the new middle management of levels 5-6... — read more
BAAAAAAAAD NEWS
Sad news. Regrettably, mismanagement is the norm rather than the exception in modern business. GM, Ford, Chrysler, Bear Sterns, Bethlehem Steel and a whole boat load of other industry giants mismanaged themselves to the very brink of bankruptcy or... — read more

10 years of constant layoffs
The company is so bad, people are so sick of it, of all layoffs. It's bad for AIG, for shareholders and above all employees. Customers feel it too. Why so many layoffs? For 10 years we endured several layoffs every year, I am surprised that people... — read more
RUMOR - July 2017 Layoffs at AIG
They never announce layoffs. It's all done quietly and quickly. There is no formal period for staff to know their job is at risk, they just get told to go. Friends and colleagues only find out when they see an empty desk. Some local managers do give... — read more
AIG - No mass layoffs
AIG has been "thinning the herd" with small layoffs, not any mass layoffs (although there was a good number laid off in May) so it's under the radar. It's bizarre that the press and the analysts who cover AIG have not commented on the loss of all... — read more
Next Round of layoffs
Does anyone know when the next round of layoffs is coming? Seems to be too quiet. Wondering if it will be with management first. It's the middle of the year and layoffs were to continue through 2017 and I haven't hear of any recent ones?

Trading and critical financial systems went down for almost a day last week!
