"…then why aren't you volunteering?"

No thanks :)

Perfectly happy working a help desk for median wage. Nor do I begrudge those people one thin dime. If for no other reason than that it isn't my money.

My mistake. However, we need to make a decision here. Either we're going to let AIG fail and allow a bankruptcy court to sort through who gets what or we need to attract the kind of workers who can bring the company back to profitability.

I favour bankruptcy where profitable businesses can be sold off and set free from the burden of congress-as-manager. But if we're not going to do that, then how are we to expect A level performance when AIG is only allowed to offer F level compensation?

Plus, having thought about it more…even if some management gets some retention bonuses, the whole bonus pool is not even a rounding error on the $200 BILLION AIG bailout. Is this really what we should be devoting our emotional energy to? There's a much larger problem here.

You never asked me one.

It occurs to me that there's much more outrage about paying to temporarily holding on to a few key personnel is far greater than the outrage over the $10MM office renovation Vikram Pandit is planning at Citibank with taxpayer money.

Does that not seem strange?
