I seriously doubt DeSantis will land in an unemployment line but I hear what you are saying Bruce. From my perspective he doesn't sound angry at being punished for AIG's demise. THe company was to be split up and sold off - he and others stayed on to do that. Retention bonuses are the only way to get people to stick around and do the work when they know the end is near and their peers are out grabbing jobs. I think he is angry because he did his job expecting to get an agreed upon sum of money when the job was finished. Payday rolls around and not only does he hear he shouldn't be paid, he and his colleagues are villified and subject to abuse. I can understand his anger.
