About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as employees were settling in for their day, an unfamiliar voice crackled over AIG’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your lucky numbers for today are…’ The voice continued, ‘And don’t forget to cross-check them against our special algorithm!’ Before anyone could react, a delivery driver walked in, muttering under his breath: ‘Great, now I have to check my lucky numbers before every meeting.’ The whole office burst into laughter, realizing that maybe luck had nothing to do with it after all.
2. One foggy afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to AIG headquarters with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret’. As he approached the reception desk, a disembodied voice echoed through the building: ‘Attention all staff—your new company slogan is “Insure Today, Worry Tomorrow”!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but no one seemed to notice anything unusual. Later that day, everyone in the office started using the new slogan without question. Even a regular from the nearby coffee shop joined in, saying, 'Hey, I’ll insure today and worry tomorrow!' The whole thing became such a joke that it eventually appeared on AIG’s official website as their real motto.
3. At closing time one Friday, a small dog darted into the AIG lobby, sniffing curiously around the reception desk. Employees watched, puzzled but amused, until they noticed the dog’s nose twitching towards something invisible to them. Suddenly, the receptionist leaned in and whispered, ‘It’s probably just sniffing our new insurance policy documents!’ Everyone laughed as the little dog trotted off, tail wagging, leaving behind a trail of curious stares from employees and a few confused glances from a passing delivery driver. The weekend was shaping up to be quite an adventure for everyone at AIG.
4. In the early hours of a Monday morning, a security guard patrolling the AIG building heard a soft thud coming from the basement. Curious, he descended the stairs and found a small bird, flapping frantically inside the company’s elaborate logo etched into the marble floor. The guard gently picked up the little fellow and placed him outside, watching as the bird took flight. Just then, an office worker emerged from the elevator, rubbing sleep from her eyes and muttering, ‘What on earth was that noise?’ The guard smiled and replied, ‘Probably just our new mascot.’
