When you are excused form your services in an office, which phrase will you use?
I was sacked!
I was discharged!
I was dismissed!
I was entrenched!
This lay off thing!
The recession again ...
What about the other party who is doing it, what phrase will they use to describe what they are doing? Actually they prefer not to talk about it! I assure you they will just keep silent about what is going on. How bad is it? use your imagination...
Just imagine what a daunting task a lay off can be, imagine you are asked to cross people's name in an employment list, imagine you are given the responsibility to stop someone's income with a single stroke of a pen, imagine you are trusted to choose who stays and who does not?
This is the third round in three years, and I have had enough of going through lists and wiping out people's name as if I am removing an item form a shopping cart; in recession times you clearly know that you are wiping out a pay cheque from a family's life altogether with little hope for a replacement pay cheque in short time!
