Economic crisis, political debacle... It sure gets people feeling down.
I just got news from management that my team will be the "economic sacrificial lamb" to take the "no-bonus" and "pay cut" for the entire company. The 5 of us, (out of the 9 I "used" to manage) will be asked to work 3 days a week. Hence, the pay will be pro-rated accordingly as well.
Oh well, it's not too bad. At least I still have a job.
The better news is that should we find better opportunities out there, the termination notice will not be enforced by HR.
You can say that I should be relieved that I've not lost my job. Well, I am in a way.
However, the other side of me is really feeling quite angry with the boss as he failed to understand the technology our team implemented and didn't know how quite to sell our skills. *sigh*... In fact, we've always felt like the step-kid in the entire company.
Anyway, I'm trying to be upbeat above all this. I still plan to hold a celebration with my team members over the project completed. It'll be a smaller celebration but I feel that we need to celebrate that the project was done.
As usual, my favourite wisecrackers - The Monty Pythons has a cheery tune to help me kick the blues...
