Retrenchment Letter

Today, 2 of my collegues were ask to go due to the retrenchment act imposed by the brains of the company. Though i wasnt particularly close to them but think to a certain extend, i do will be affected by their absence, especially Ms Bean. Her path in during this period with this coy has been difficult and today, it was a rude shock to know once you received notification to go, its straight away dont have to come back, no negotiation, bye bye.

Somehow, i think, if a quote on a headcount to retrench from various departments, i guess, if not for her presence, i should be the one to go....but of cos, this headcount reduction has not end yet, it has just begun. Heard rumours, there will be a series of waves of retrenchments being send, slowly reducing the workforce. I am not spare from the chopping board.

What will i do if i get retrench? I have to say im damn lucky. Haha...being in this line, extended probation, and less than a year, im retrenched...haha...that will be an experience to share with the younger generation who will enter into this rat race. Looking for a job in this current economic outlook where companies are freezing hiring will be difficult, but not impossible. But it will take time, patience and luck...hope that Ms Bean will not be too upset.
