Economy Crisis?

as we all already know, the world is not doing not so well at the moment.
jobs losses, share prices dropping, investment risks, property prices drop.
I guess the worst result has to be job losses. It affects practically everybody.

All of us, in a certain way are afraid of losing our jobs, especially at this moment when supply > demand.

According to my personal views, this also shows how the world, organisations, companies and bosses can be so heartless. Yes, they are the one answering the top questions. But they don't get "laid off", in fact, some of them even get raises. They are afraid as much as us. They are even afraid to lose their parking spots. That's why they will cover themselves first.

PM advises us to put off our salary increase at the moment, telling us job stability should be priority. The next piece of news: Parliament staff gets salary increase.

Nowadays, we read news that whichever country is pumpin' in hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars. Are they going to the right industries? Or are they trying to rescue the bosses asses?

Yes, we hold on our requests but wait, every other thing seems to be rising. Supermarket products, electricity, parking fees, parking fines. Even the chicken shop that I frequent for lunch up their prices by a dollar. So? what's the deal?

As much as I am not that aware of the 'market', is this harsh, heartless world, better stay "garang", "on the ball". Who knows what might happened if you are called into the office behind close doors the next moment. To them, you are just a name on the list waiting to get strike off, not the one working back late when things don't get done, not the one skipping lunch to attend meetings. Nahz, those are what you are getting paid for.

to all working ppl, including myself, be smart or you are out of the door.
