Well, if you are 1 of the 900 staffs that get affected, will you still says the same rubbish?
With this, are you admitting that you are one of the impacted employees?
Well, I'm sorry this is going to happen to you.
I can tell you this, I will still say this same 'rubbish' because I am not under no false illusion that Shell owes me a job.
Many people fail to realise that we live in a capitalist society. The objective of the corporation is to create wealth for the shareholders. You tak suka, you boleh pergi Cuba. You get the same wage no matter what you do. The moment you think that the company owes you something, that they are indebted to you, how bloody wrong you are.
Everybody is dispensable.
How do you avoid this then? Make yourself indispensable. When was the last time you acquired a new skill? When was the last time you acquired some new knowledge?
It is only prudent to constantly monitor what exit opportunities at any one time, it is also smart to monitor where your employing company is heading, you should be able to tell if your ship is sinking and if you have not made plans to jump, then you have yourself to blame.
Don't ever think that the company will be there for you forever, there is no such nonsense. You get paid for the work you do, they are not obligated to pay you for a work that they can get someone else to do or if they no longer require your service because of new technology or whatever. It's not a charity.
So take this as a lesson. Go find a new job, go acquire a new skill at the same time. Don't ever invest your feelings in the company unless it is your own.
