everything happens for reason... (part-1)

and 'reason' is in question... that's what i said last time. the reason is still not clear, confusion persists. things have been happening and i have been hoping they are good or will turn good. being positive is a great asset, i have had too much of it in me. as much that it tends i am overconfident, which i am sometimes. i always try to look at the positive side of things or look for something positive in it... just one thing i say, "there are 2 kind of people; people who wait for thing's to come & fit in there lives and people who fit themselves to the things as they come in there lives. however i am the one who tries to bring thing's in his life as possible and fit them as i need them".

last week on Feb 12 layoffs happened my company as well, around 8% people were exited. this was being expected for a long time and i personally feel that ours was kinda a late player in the game, seems they tried there best to not do it but couldn't avoid at last. the people came to office and had the mail in there inbox in sometime and then were told they'll have to leave the same day, i am not sure why this is done like this. i have been told that the people have been provided with good reverence packages and nice money which is really a good thing; nothing can make something like this happy but at least some compensation is nice. in fact few of my friends have immediately found new jobs with better money and seems that it worked out well for them, "a boon in disguise" as one of them told me. no one can feel absolutely safe in these times of recession, lets just hope things will get better...

Management and the CRAP Program

Dear Staff,
Due to the current financial situation caused by the worldwide slowdown of economies, since the being of 2008, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 30 plus years of age on early retirement.
This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retiring Appropriate People Early). People selected for RAPE can also apply to management for eligibility in SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination). People who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW scheme (Systematic Coursing Retired Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate.
People who have been RAPED can only get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependents or Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance). Obviously people who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by management.
People staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Management has always prided itself on the amount of SHIT it gives to its employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please apply for CRAP (Corporate Rescue Advanced Program).
Our Management has been trained to give you all the CRAP you may require to excel.
Yours Sincerely,

The Management
