Do we cut jobs or costs?

that is call cold turkey treatment, same as what CNB use to treat drug addict, leave them to riot. For your case, just take yr paid, since you know u are waiting for them to announce, take this opportunity to upgrade yourself, learn a different skill or upgrade your current skill. Do yourself a flavor, work harder and never give up in upgrading or reskilling opportunities. Be cool and steady, dun alway think Boss are cool, they only go for the weak one who look unsteady and no confidence.

Be a lady or a gentleman, dun take life as what it offer you, you can control your life and not let life control you ya.

I already made plan and even called CDC, WDA asking for tranining but none of the course suitable for me .. I mean cannot just anyhow take a course right ? if no interest then how ? anyway, what you say is true la ... must constantly upgrade our selves ...

Cut jobs to save costs -> massive retrechments, high unemployment index, not good for statistics.

Cut costs to save jobs -> workers take pay cut to retain job, workers had to work harder or do more work to earn that pay cut salary cause if you don't, there will be people queuing up for the job. When economy improves, workers' pay cut salary will not be restored to its original state and workers still has to continue to work equally hard cause if you don't, there will be people queuing up for the job. Low unemployment index, good for statistics but workers get exploited.

Either way workers lose out.

it is not a matter of anyhow take a course, as long as there are avenues for you to take courses here, go look for what you are interested, we need to be nimble and flexible in order to survive better in this society where you are competiting in a global workforce while living in a high cost small country.

If you are an accountant, can try HR or BA, if you are a waiter, can try to learn to be captain and serve with international std, or you can choose to be a wine consultant or tour guide or etc etc..of course if u can take a course of your interest, that will be the best, but u should know that in life, most things dun come perfectly as you like. So be a bit more lax on the line ya.
