Retrenchment

It's Retrenchment everywhere!!

A very scary and worst scenario that can happen. This situation seemed far from me initially, but has slowly creeped near me.

Read an email yesterday. Many part timers were 'axed', leaving only max 2 part timers per store. Even the largest store are left with only 2 part timers, that means many have to leave.

So me and Ying wondered...if they're trying to get rid of the 'high earners'. ps: there're salary discrepancy among the part timers. But, me and Ying survived the ordeal. And we knew of another 'high earner' who survived as well. Very lucky. What to do? Part timers are supposed to be used to adjust 'Capacity' - as learned from 'Service Quality'. =)

From today onwards, I'll face new challenges at work. Hope I'll be able to handle those tasks and show my boss that I'm the worthy employees left.

So dear friends, pardon me if I happen to reject your invitation to go out. Coz I think I'll put work at priority because I'm not sure when I'll lose my job. hahahaha!!!! Hopefully I can survived till next May. haha!

That's all folks! Have a wonderful week ahead! Cheers~
