Side track a bit... Actually, my friend who is in IT applied for a grant with Spring Singapore on my behave, under some SME scheme, so he can sell me more HW+SW with the grant. During the interview, the lady from Spring pointed out that the business has not been making money. Why should they give me a grant? I told them if my was making money, I won;t need their grant. Got $5,000 from Spring that my friend promptly upgraded the HW in the shop. I won't be eligible for another Spring grant for another 2 years. Not that $5,000 is going to give me a world class CRM nor pay for the consulting and rollout of salesforce.com
Indeed, I am troubled with what to do with the staff. I think I really need more muscle, logistic and scheduling skills for food business besides food preparation. Current video staff would be a bad fit for food business. One of the girls told she would not do low class work like food business; I dunno to feel sorry for her or to feel sorry for myself.:dunno: I think I aged 10 years between 2007 and now.
Govt says spend....media says more bad times ahead. Perhaps too much forecasted media....so why should people spend?......If dun say anything and worst comes....hmm catch 22 situation here.
Anyway - what to do if retrenched?.....re-evaluate:
- What I want out of life? What's important?
- What are family needs?
Also - talk to family. Generally men tend to internalise the problems and put more stress on themselves (feeling a failure if they're not bringing in the bread). Women tend to discuss thru the issues and come to compromises.
er.. not true lah.. these days retrenchment isn't about being able to work or not. If they think your seat is not needed... it gets nipped off.
Especially for bigger companies, whole divisions from Head to toe can get nipped off.
holly molly! my sincere... um.... best wishes to you mate.
200 kena axed... how big was your work force man... don't tell me now left only boss and secretary :bsmilie:
he works in a big institution.. i'm surprised they axed ppl but not on the papers... :think: but then again.. maybe he changed jobs and I haven't updated myself with CS for a long time
Yes and if you're stressed and want a major fall out with your wife, then telling her (in the heat of the moment) "Why don't you be the bread winner and I'll stay at home....."
You'll do good in creating resentment. Women don't forget an unacceptable lashing!

Not necessarily.....but when tempers are flaring......and you're "rubbing each other up the wrong way"........you'll never remember what you shot off....but she will remember date, time and location. Need to sort that one out so that she can forget about it and move on. It's unresolved in her head. Humility and an apology will go a long way.
Things are always good in the good times, but the test of your relationship will be known in the rough times......

That's what I mean by useful to other companies. You can be master of WoW in your current position BUT it may mean nothing to the other companies. Depth in the wrong area is no use. No depth in all areas is no use. Depth in needed area is good. Depth in many areas , easier said than done, is very good.
i would say if at all this happens ..
take this as an opportunity and get into something which you always wanted to do...its difficult but then i feel it would be a better option
not what you did just to make ur living .

Neither would I forget it while I thoroughly enjoy giving it..... :devil: .......Time, Place, Date, Reason why, what show was on tv that day or night, how many times she did it and why she still doing it...etc.
Why should men be always the one who is thought to be the insensitive or illogical brute of a creature whenever man and woman have an argument. There are just as many if not more unacceptable lashing by women towards men and the problem is...they know they can get away with it even if they are at fault. So to keep the peace we man have to "learn" to accept that? hehe Not this old man. :sticktong
That's the problem with this new world we live in and I agree with a political comedian Bill Maher when he joke about "The pussification of the modern male".
Want equal rights between sexes? Well....then everything, I do mean everything should work both ways.
Sorta like working life. Boss Vs Staff. Corporation Vs the Mom & Pop stores .eg... If we understand how each of our role plays in the scheme of things maybe there will be less bad economy and retrenchment will no longer be the first knee jerk reaction to save a business. :sweat:
That's just my rant....
