I woke this morning really expecting just a another normal day 9-5 in the office, my usual forum fix and the gymnasium after work.
Little did I know that a few dramatic things were going to occur;
1. Redundacy- Working for an American company listed on the American stock exchange the companies values dropped a dramatic 48%, overnight!!!! the company immediately announced the redundancy of 230 employees world wide. Being at the company for a short period of time <12 months I was on the redundacy list along with 21 others in Australia. One was also a supply chain director. I was shocked ..still am that it happened so sudden and with immediate effect. I am also dissapointed because I took on so much additional work the last 3 months for the same pay
I am in a bit of a pickle now really stressed at the moment as I have a personal loan to repay and know its going to be really tough finding another job given the current economic situation. I will be really more gutted if a 24yr old with an MBA can not get employment at this day and age.
2. Keane going back to Tottenham- Well nowehere near as important as the first event but still shook me up a little even though it was half expected.
Anybody else in a similar situation with employment or any fu**ed up life occurances of late??
