AIG – Bonuses Are Not the Problem
AIG crisis could be the tip of an insurance iceberg – Los Angeles Times
Here is another view into AIG from the LA Times. The quotes below are from the online article.
AIG’s loss of $18 billion in its life insurance and retirement businesses in the fourth quarter was about the same amount that the company lost in its financial services operation, which was trading in credit default swaps and other risky instruments.
When the life insurance industry ultimately stabilizes, the financial landscape will be different, along with the once-dominant AIG.

Remote Working – ResumeBear Blog Post
I found this fascinating quote today from a post highlighting a survey done by Microsoft:
A growing interest in remote working has been spurred in part by rising energy costs, environmental concerns and the recent economic crisis. Remote working is widely understood to provide companies with access to a larger talent pool, improve productivity, and lower overhead for items such as workstation space, common office space, insurance, utilities, maintenance and parking. However, today’s survey results suggest business leaders need to do more to encourage adoption to realize these benefits.ResumeBear Blog, Mar 2009
