SpeedStar SG Wow seems like lately there is alot of lay off.... but ur colleague's case is really tmd sudeden to the max...
DriftingGuy SG Any idea why he had to take the 2 weeks leave? Most likely its forced leave for something he did?
Fatum SG I dunno ... maybe he saw the writing on the wall ... but more likely it's just his yearly thingy, cos it's high summer now mah .... everyone is coming back from and going on holidays now ... but if that's the case, then it's really farked up lor ...
Tenzin SG maybe offended 'sth' overseas. it happens sometimes. return and get fired with a truck through his house. KO-ed...
Gordonator SG how was his reaction when he heard the news he was fired? if he shows no major reactions, maybe he already expected he's going to get the sack.
BrUtUs SG theres always better place to be... since the employer did tis then better to leave now than later...
Fatum SG morale was damm low in the orpid today .... they had the brass and the HR manager come in for a meeting with the department this morning .... no one from the department said a single word, save for a few office pricks .... he's been in the company for 11 years ... and it was an ugly scene ... what do you say to a man who've just been fired ? ... ... in the end I chose silence and pretended to be engrossed in my work .... but this episode taught me one thing though ... that I have to become my own boss one day ... I have to be in control of my own destiny ...
Fatum SG they were pretty vague about it ... putting it down to "team dynamics" .... I dunno ... maybe part of the reason was that he was getting a bit long in his position ? ... nehows ... it's just a brutal reminder of how fragile one's rice bowl is .... I have to become my own boss ! ...
elindra SG You think that is bad? I know someone who worked in this Canadian company for 30 yrs Then hor the department he was in found some huge discrepancies and he was made to carry the black pot He was fired from his job and he was not even allowed to get back to his desk to get his coat He was escorted out of the building and they got someone else to get his stuff out in a carton box
the Bear SG it's a catchall phrase to fire someone who has a high pay and bring in someone younger of lower pay
dnomaid SG better start building own part-time biz while working before team dynamic happens after buying house, children need to study, need to support aging parents, etc scary!
browniebaobao SG i also got one colleague kena.. it was stunning.. really.. but everyone dun dare to talk abt it.. duno wat actually happened also..
