The guy’s department was put into another unit...it had nothing to do with performance...it’s on this thread somewhere.
Perhaps where I linked the article.
According to AIG's Motion for Summary Judgement, Feilbogen's suit was based on his claim of receiving an ORAL promise of $1.3 million bonus for 2003, made by a John Finigan. There is no written contract covering this payout, or at least Feilbogen didn't produce one, and none of AIG's HR departments has a record of a written promise to pay.
Finigan denied making a promise of a guaranteed payout.
