This scene was playing in my mind yesterday when I came to know about two of my colleagues. They were, as usual, working near me. HR Manager came and called one of them. After some time he returned, took his bag and left. The other, said goodbye to all. I couldn’t believe they were fired and there were some others too in the list. You come for work in the morning and return home jobless. What will you tell your wife, kids and friends?
Cost-cutting, recession, whatever they name it. For me, these were things that happened in some other world. But it hit me yesterday, to make me realise that ‘You may be next.’ Don’t know how others on the office will react to this situation. May be they will look for other options. Don’t know how sincerely you can continue your work. Anytime the gun can be pointed at you. They say live your life as it’s your last day. Now it’s like, work as it’s your last day in the office.
We can say, better opportunities are waiting for you, this is not the end, blah blah… Hope for the best and be prepared for the worst.
PS: Up In The Air is still one of my favourites.
