anyone here RETRENCHED / JOBLESS currently?

I have 1 friend who got retrenched last month (he works in an IT company in Cyberjaya - not allowed to say cos got NDA shit)... 1 month compensation.
Now he's superfucked, cos got 2 cars / 2 properties to pay. He used to pull in about RM11K ... he's in his late 30's. Wife not working and 2 kids in kindergarten.

I also have 1 friend retrenched by local bank (3 months compensation) and 3 friends in O&G all kena retrenched in September this year. One of them driving Uber but pulling in only about RM4K... not enough to pay for his commitments monthly.

My sister in manufacturing (textile) also going to kena buang in 31st December 2016. But she gets 2 months compensation because she had been working there for almost 8 years.

How are you holding up? What industry are you in?

How many months can tahan with all your commitments?

What is your backup plan? Use savings to tahan or driving Uber?

If some of you were retrenched unlawfully, i'm sure some lawyers here can advice accordingly.

I hope we can use this platform to help each other during this difficult time.

p/s Pls don't ask ppl to sell backside to make a living. Tq.
