Can you imagine?

In a large multinational company..............

A fire alarm rang at 4 PM in a large office when almost all employees were in office (approx 5,000). As usual the entire office was evacuated within 3 mins & all employees gathered outside the office in the designated area waiting for further announcement. The Security Officer in charge made the following announcement:

"Dear employees - with sincere regret I have been asked to announce that for many of you it will be your last evacuation drill. Due to the recession the company is laying off almost 50% of its employees. So when this announcement finishes, I ask all of you to move back into the building and if your swipe card does not work then it means you have been laid off in which case you will not be allowed inside and all your belongings will be couriered to you by tomorrow. The Company has used this innovative approach as we didn't want to fill up the email box with lay-off mails and good bye mails in thousands & also to avoid any fight inside the office and the consequent security issue for all staff.

Hope you have had a rewarding career with us and all the best!"


what if it were to happen to you?

kat opis lama saya, mgmt lagik jahat. nak retrench tak bagitau. so sapa2 yg kena retrench, masa pagi2 masuk keje tue, kena tahan kat pak guard. siap kena tinggal IC. pastu ada guard lain yang escort dia pack2 brg, masa nak kuar dari opis, siap kena check lagik. as if mencurik plak. jahat giler. ada sorg akak preggy 5 bulan, pengsan biler dpt tau dia kena retrench. biler lah nak dpt balasan kan...
