Reality had finally struck.. Although this is something which is not within our control, this economic downturn is definitely the best time and excuse for companies to award the "golden handshake"... The morale was somehow low among a few of us and I felt its presence over lunch today...
Mdm Tan was right.... The ugly, devilish RETRENCHMENT has arrived.... 2 of my colleagues from the supply chain were let go this morning...
Seems like these 2 already knew about it beforehand as they were quite calm when they came to bid goodbye, I was the one feeling emotional and upset though....
The EVP (aka CEO's BFF) who terminated them called for a meeting later in the afternoon... He had flown in from HQ specially for this and also to settle some of their business unit matters.... For someone who never bother to acknowledge our presence when we greeted him, or take a single look at us with his eyes but thru his nostrils instead.... He actually called for a meeting... What a joke... The call came in during lunch and we were still hesitating if we should attend for the msg conveyed to us was, "there's a general meeting later at 1.30, join in if you want to". Since that's his words, then why would we bother to go when he already sounded as if it doesn't matter that we did not attend..
K: "go and listen to what he wants to say...."
J, M and I were still guessing, did he felt bad about letting 2 staff go and wanted to hear from us on our thoughts about this exercise... "Ok, so most of you might have known by now might that some changes is going on within the company... I had just removed 2 redundancies this morning..." Whatever he continued, shooting his bloody CB mouth off... I did not pay attention but wished he will just fall off his chair and drop dead immediately...
2 REDUNDACIES removed??!!! So that were his best description for the 2 guys who were let go so that he can save his own fucking arsehole??!! So that he will have more budget on hand to play around with the logistics model??!! These 2 fellas did not come to office everyday doing nothing for as long as they were employed nor did the company pay them to just sit there and talk big like what this bloody CB likes to do...
If they were considered redundants and therefore should be removed, then CB should be one bloody mother fucking THRASH which needs to be incinerated and removed from this planet...
AND I SINCERELY HOPE THAT THIS WILL COME TRUE.. *angry*
