In case of retrenchement, did any of you got super upset and throw tantrums at orpice in front of corlicks? Because I am very short temper and I think if I am retrenched I will definitely shout at HR zeh zeh...

u need to work on your EQ. :(

even u r angry. Don’t vent your anger on the messenger, they are not the ones who makes the decision

The decision makers r hiding behind the scene. :(

Being retrenched now is better than retrenched during a global recession. Able to find a job with either same pay or maybe Heng Heng pay rise and bag package. Of course mindset is important. Don't feel like it's the end of the world or why me why me.

Seems like quite a number in the past few months.

I'll start
Late 40s. Let go last week. Financial sector. Married with kids but no more loans so not that stressed in terms of financial.

Will take at least a month break to clear my mind and enjoy a well deserved rest. Then look for job after CNY

Was my 2nd retrenchment by the way
Pandemic me & my mum tio, biz also went to the drain as well. Both of us blue collar mgt worker. Heng I single.

Yeah. HR is really just the messenger

The for my past 2 experiences, it's usually the bey kan manager's decision. anyway

Sorry to hear that TS.

Good thing about financial sector you can make a lot of money during good times and probably slow down a bit during bad times.

In engineering, you probably have to slog for life.

I think your financial situation is rock solid. So I'm sure you can get through this crisis. Jia you.

EDMW logic
2 retrenchment = 2 Mega payout


App Time!!!

You’ll tell yourself it’s ok when it happens

But when you see the bank balance dwindling and job prospects being bleak (particularly when you’re in a small and niche sector with limited opportunities), you'll start panicking
