How bad is the economy?
April 3rd, 2009 | by jys |Everybody is talking about economy bad lar, have to keep some money lar, but seriously, how bad is the economy? I’m lucky that my company is still “ok” but I did heard a lot from friends, clients…. Just a few days ago, I got to know that one of our client (manufacturing) required their staff to take 6 unpaid leaves per month. 1st and 2nd week, friday is off, and for 3rd and 4th week, each staff only need to work 3 days. Really that bad huh…
Then yesterday heard from the news that CIMB is offering their staff to take unpaid leaves. No, according to them, they are not having any problems, just they WISH their staff to rest.. They offer their staff to take unpaid leaves up to 6 months!! hahaha…..what a joke…
The economy first strike those manufacturing line, then slowly…now..to bank…scary huh…
p/s: hmm, how come shopping malls are still packed with ppl everyday? economy bad? everybody goes shopping? *scratching head*

My dear,
Eco really bad. My company and management always send this kind of messages “You got work to do then better do it. There will be no job soon.”
Indeed, my company is cutting down people especially those contract staffs.

ya, it’s true.. got things to do is better than nothing to do…
