Retrenchment

Today I heard another sad news. 3 department colleagues (about 10 pps in all) in my office received their notice of termination. Their last day will be on 23 August 2008.

The reason given by the management is to centralize in Suzhou all departments that have regional impact on our business . For the time being, 3 departments will be affected.

Fast in three months time, or the most another 6 months, perhaps I will also be one of the victims. To these ‘Ang Mo’ there is no such thing called ‘Royalty’. Money is always on top priority. Compensations to these staff ? I heard, some did not even entitle to any compensation.
