I breaking news hit me hard on Friday afternoon. I was so taken aback by it that i couldn't concentrate on my work for the rest of the day. It was the serious problem that my company is facing - financial crisis. And because of that, 3 of my colleagues are being retrenched and 2 others voluntarily retire. It's the second quarter now that my department is retrenching staff to cut cost. This is really a major blow to me as I am quite close to two of these colleagues. I really regretted that earlier in the day I didn't really talk to them eventhough I had the chance too, I am always immersing myself in my own work or my own activities that I totally forgot that I should pause awhile to communicate with others....sigh.... It's too late now... And I myself may face the probably of being retrenched next year. WTH. Like I am facing some mid-life crisis....*ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* I feel like a pig in the sty waiting to be slaughtered...Rather than waiting to be slaughtered I guess I will prepared myself if such circumtances were to occur. * super demoralised now. I hate working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* My boss told me that no one is indispensable. I disagree. One can be indispensable, if we make it to be. qoute by Upton Sinclair: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
