Nope, he wasn't forced; but if you did stay around, do your job, and fulfilled your part of the contract, wouldn't you expect that the other side should fulfill their share?
It seems to me that the players who go the company into trouble are already long gone. The good employees are the ones who are left behind. It would probably already have been hard enough to keep them around, but with this sort of junk, I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't the first of many resignations. And then where will AIG be? Sure, they can hire someone else, but a) what sort of a competent person would want that job with all its baggage and conditions and b) once you hire someone new, how long will it take them to get up to speed and become productive? Good luck with that.
