If the manager or the general manager is a foreigner,
his or her office staffs will slowly change to their country origin
people, if indian, the office will be full of indians, if
philippines, lots of pinoys and so on.
Anyway retrenchment can be a blessing in disguise, it is time
for management to trim and cut those redundant staffs including
poor performers. Having getting some payment and get out of the
company, you may land yourself in a better job or business. There
is alway a way out for living people, just a matter of how you go
look at or for it. Take it as a past that hardened your strength to
be better, stronger and smarter. Of course there are people who get
retrenched, went into depression or unable to get a perfect job,
end up poorer and weaker, in a sad state, take up illegal vices or
drinking or gambling habits that only add more sorrows. But there
are people who put up their strenght of never said die attitude,
since no way to go, do the hard one, go into business, set up
stall, sell foods or whatever, change life and become successful,
got a fish noodle stall boss near my house now hv 8 stalls
islandwide, formerly retrenched by National panasonic, fed up,
promise himself never to return to worker life, set up his stall,
now very rich loh
Well bro... most of the thing u mentioned are quite true. Look
at the brighter side.
But getting retrenched because me falls into poor performers
catergory is abit hard to swallow. Myself in this job (project) for
7 years, my other local colleague is 3 years. We are not the bottom
performers. But we lost out to a local colleague who just in this
job for 3 months. We lost out to FTs which the company employ 13
pinoys at one go last year Dec.
All i can say, Singapore open arm policy for FTs is wrong. Sad
to say, I have just tasted it.
