QUOTE(fapman @ Dec 15 2017, 07:11 AM) The feeling of getting laid-off/retrenched sucks man! One of the worst feeling ever! I feel you bro. Happened to me last year. My whole world collapsed in front of my eyes. Very cruel boss, asked me to leave 1 week before CNY. I was literally stunned and numb. So much debts/bills to pay... CNY I hid in my room during CNY, finding excuses to avoid my relatives and friends. Until today still very sore about the manner how he fired me.

QUOTE(Kilohertz @ Dec 15 2017, 08:25 AM) Sucks.. retrenchment sucks, I have quite a number of friends looking for job too, got retrenched sometime last year and this year.. He never paid my salary late. But on that fateful day, he just handed me my paycheck while I was standing! and he just said coldly "so you stay until end of next month. You know la business not good" Just like that, and my world collapsed in front my eye. For the first time in my life, the word "bankruptcy" seems very real to me.

QUOTE(Dern @ Dec 22 2017, 08:29 PM) did u ask why he fired you ? business not good. He chose to retain another more senior and more expensive colleague over me. And because I am foreveralone, he thought I was an easier target due to no family and kids, easier to fire..... got such logic? |

QUOTE(Pete the great @ Dec 27 2017, 09:00 AM) weird logic for me, I rather have the foreveralone - because I can pile lots of work on this fella. And he has no excuse to say he got baby lah or family to take care have to go back home earlier. when I was single - I was so employable. for him, foreveralone got laid off - easier for him to find another job. Older guy who works for him longer than me, got family etc... he gives priority? I have no problem he wants to fire me, but it's just the way he did that leaves behind a very bad impression to me. You know the word "terkilan".... This post has been edited by Chrono-Trigger: Dec 27 2017, 09:39 AM |

QUOTE(thesoothsayer @ Dec 27 2017, 09:42 AM) The logic from a former employer was that a family man has more to lose. So, he'll be more obedient and can squeeze him more. most probably. A family man is more desperate I suppose.  |

QUOTE(tsg_7 @ Dec 27 2017, 10:19 AM) Well...nowadays new jobs need people urgently. But when candidate want to resign need 2 months period. Sometimes quite hard for them to get a job without resign 1st. And also, unless new company willing to buy out the candidate. If not, gg. but if the new boss really likes you, they will wait for you. |
