Thank God :D

HIHI!!! I SURVIVED!!! HAHA

Had lunch with my ex-colleagues from one of the Big Local Bank... She was sharing how tense it is in office since their annoucement of retrenchment last week. Everyone is feeling the stress that over the next couple of weeks, some of them may end up jobless. Some of them live from paycheck to paycheck and have no idea what to expect once the axe comes down.

Well... I feel for them and as much as I want to, I dont know how I can help any of them, other than to offer a listening ear. Perhapes because I had worked there for about 3 years and became bonded with most of my colleagues there. At the same time, I am thankful that I left this place over a year back. Although, I worked harder over the last year, I was also well rewarded for my effort. Even though I lamented and even regretted, now looking back, I certainly am thankful that God has led me on such path that what most people call "different".

Yet I am also angered by such decision of the corporate. To retrench just so they can maintain their profit margin! Remembering correctly, the bank allocated about 10% of the staff wage to be deducted in case of recession. The rationale was that everyone get a paycut then someone get retrenched. Yes, they claim they will save jobs because they value talent. Yet in such an event, I am deeply disturbed how conveniently the bank has forgottten their promise to their staff, the very people who have helped them attain their fat profit in good times.

Alas, I am thankful that I have embarked on a different route. I have been very lucky in my life for alot of things. God never forsaken me and always give me alot of things. Sometimes, at the point of time, certain things that he gave me, I feel is not good enuff or is not what I would have wanted, and I feel upset. Now I understand that God has always gave me the best, and its only in a time like that that I can appreciate the Best in whatever he has given me.

Thank God :D
