This letter is totally appalling and is yet another slap in the face of the employees that management always likes to say they care so much about. As if using them like a piece of machinery and kicking them to the curb wasn't enough, they now attempt to absolve themselves of all legal ramifications by tricking employees into forfeiting their right to severance.

But this isn't surprising. This is from the same “world class” management team that has screwed up more times than anyone can count and has constantly engaged in deception campaigns to trick employees, shareholders and the public at large. These corrupt fools deserve to be locked up for life but unfortunately they have the lawyers and have nicely rewritten the rules of the game to benefit themselves.

There is NO DIFFERENCE in character between AIG executives and Mike Z, Hackney, John Manley, and the rest of the executives and BoD. The only difference is these losers “only” had access to Nortel funds to screw with. If there were a government bailout don't think for a second they wouldn't use it to enrich themselves.
