For those whos in the US....this is pretty much gonna suck for you. In less than a week after the federal government used $85 Billion to bail out AIG, guess what the executives did? They went a week-long retreat at a luxury resort and spa, the St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, California. That "retreat" cost $440,000 which can be split into nearly $200,000 for rooms, $150,000 for meals and $23,000 in spa charges. Also, there are evidence that says the former CEO changed the bonus schedule in order to insure that top executives would continue making multi-million dollar salaries, even as their company went broke. I wish I was getting a free trip to a resort paid by taxpayers, shame how I ain't an executive in any big companies. Source: After Bailout, AIG Execs Head to California Resort
