Employees Welcome AIG-Less Building Facade

Over the weekend, a crew removed any mention of "American International Group" from the exterior of 175 Water Street. That office is where the property-casualty business is located and AIG explained that it would be renamed "AIU Holdings Ltd" to "distinguish these well-capitalized businesses from AIG." The Post asked employees outside the building how they felt: One said, "I feel a lot safer now, it's true," while another, who said she was harassed outside the office, added, "If it means we can all turn up to work feeling safer, it's a small price to pay." Last week, AIG CEO Edward Liddy told Congress, "I think the AIG name is so thoroughly wounded and disgraced that we're probably going to have to change it."
