Job Cuts  

Posted by: Licel

The ax is swinging at my job lately. Rumor has it that the management are trying to eliminate those employee that is not productive. Last month, one department head was surprisingly terminated from his position. Earlier of this month, they let our scheduler go. I kinda expected it because he has an attitude problem. And he always messed up our schedules. So good riddance! Then just recently, four of my co-workers got fired. I was really shocked when I learned about this. They were the ones I used to talked a lot at work. They were very helpful too everytime I needed them. Now they are gone. It's just so sad that I won't see them anymore. I'll surely miss them.

One thing I noticed about my job, they easily get fired people. One wrong move and you're done. No warnings and no second chances at all. For me, that is so mean. Everybody deserves second chance. But what can I do? The job I have is an entry level job. Employee will come and go. Usually the position are offered to an inexperienced person like me. I'm just there to learn and gain experience and eventually serves as a stepping stone for higher level jobs. That's why it's hard to invest emotional attachment to my co-worker. There's no guarantees how long can we stay. Either we will be terminated or we will move on.
