Today, my company have a massive layoff, 15% of the employee is gone.\u00a0 I have been stressed out for the whole week.\u00a0 Since the beginning of the month, there were rumors about the company is having a layoff plan.\u00a0 The rumour is leaking more and more information out, and we even know the numbers of people to cut last week.\u00a0 It is 180 out of 1200 employees, probably the biggest cut since 2001.\u00a0 My project team has been idling since we finished our project in january.\u00a0 Some of us are working in feasibility work, and myself was on loan to help out another project.\u00a0 Seems like the whole team is the redundant overhead that can be chopped away.\u00a0 I would expect my team have lots of causality, but it term out only the director and one guy is laid off.\u00a0 I guess closing down the remote sites helps save our job.\u00a0 The company still need someone to take over whatever tasks in the remote site.\u00a0 It is cheaper to keep workers in the headquarter than in the remote sites.\u00a0 The productivity of the company drop to the lowest level due to the layoff rumour.\u00a0 I havn’t been doing any real work last week, just waiting for the day to come.\u00a0 Some people can work as usual like nothing is going to happen, probably their brain is built differently, they just couldn’t feel there is something wrong in the atmosphere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
