hit by recession

cut in benefits
frozen bonuses and salary increment
and finally it was announced earlier this week our pay will be cut 10%

Great. i can understand the situation and outcome. but i am very disappointed that the news was delievered to us in bits, and through email! it feels like getting dumped via the SMS! how insincere. Furthermore, the emails were always sent at few minutes past 6pm, our knock-off time and the management acts like nothing has happened. Typical traditional Chinese behaviour - avoiding the embarassment. Speaks much about our organisation and management style.

Unfortunately, the situation has affected the general morale and some ppl's behaviour. Worse still, some colleagues are still subjected to some unkind and unfair remarks from the managers and co-workers even though we continue to work very hard for the business.

I don't really care about their assessment anymore. Just trying my best to focus on my long-term goals as much as possible, while balancing the weight of the present circumstances.

To all my friends reading, let's all stay positive and unbeaten through this challenge! Don't forget to have fun too!
