EPISODE 57: Retrenchment
裁员 .
I thought this term would only happen in drama serials or financial programs on TV. Never did I expect it to happen in my company.
Sometimes, the business world can be "冷酷无情". Retrenchment seems to be one of the most popular options to cut costs. We have been speculating this since the day we got bought over by another company, and it finally happened.
I had a bad day today. The feeling of seeing my colleagues going into the room one by one to receive the news of "to stay or to leave" was really lousy.
Not too sure if I was considered lucky, but I was not affected by the retrenchment and managed to keep my job. However, I teared for one of my colleagues when I found out that she is leaving. In fact, most of my colleagues are affected. But thank goodness, I think the compensation package was reasonable, and there were mixed feelings amongst all of us about the retrenchment.
The times spent with my colleagues will soon become history, and I will definitely miss each and everyone. Thanks for bringing me joy since the day I joined the company.
I wish everyone affected by the retrenchment all the best.
