Benmosche is like a spoiled little kid who didn’t get his way, so he throws a fit until he gets what he wants.
NEWSFLASH: If it weren’t for numerous bailouts, this company would not exist. Perfect example of “give an inch, take a foot”
If you don’t like the stipulations, give back the money and quit whining. There’s plenty of americans who would take those jobs in a heartbeat, even at the reduced salaries (which are still likely more than most of us will ever make in our lifetime)
Welcome to the post bail out world. While it may seem distasteful to have big brother looking over your shoulder, would it be any different if the 80% stakeholder in your publicly (or privately held) company were holding the reigns tight on “his” investment?
Big “Ben” spent the first two months of his new job at his mansion and vineyards in Croatia overseeing the grape harvest. He wants to help the local economy by making a great Zinfandel. Then he comes back and starts shooting his rich mouth off about paying big bucks to the _hitheads who drove the company into the ground with their _iss poor decisions. He’s just another old school millionaire executive who can afford to act like a cowboy. Then he goes into a pout when nobody will give him free rein. Send him back to Croatia and find a hungry, competent, younger executive who would love the challenge to straighten out the mess and EARN those big bucks.
Let me at him Boss. I’ll kick his sorry #^%& all over the place and break a few legs while I’m at it. Ok Boss??
Benmosche’s frustration and previous outburst illustrate that he is yet another CEO living in his own world.
One can bet that if it was his money that bailed out AIG he would want controls that make whatever the government wants look like mere guidelines.

This guy is a joke.
Glad to see this tough guy is totally committed rather than just vaguely interested in seeing this thing through. Let’s give ‘im a medal!

Mr Benmosche until you pay back the money, shut the %^*& up or quit.
When you borrow money you gain a business partner. I’ll send one of the boys by on Tuesday for regular collection.
