Laid Off
I honestly never thought that this day would come. I always thought that I would quit my company. Now it seems the company quit on me.
Well, I just got laid off. Actually, the entire company staff got laid off. After almost 4 years of operation, the company is closing down due to various reasons which I’m not at liberty to disclose here.
When the management announced the news to us, I was not surprised, shocked or angry. In fact, I did not feel anything. Nowadays nothing really surprises me anymore. Don’t ask me why. Maybe I’m in denial. However, I do feel sad.
It has been fun working here. Although there are many a time I would disagree with management on how things are run, I really did enjoy my time here. The work culture here is relax and fun. Although at times it can be frustrating when there’s lots of server problems and late working hours, I can say that I did not have any regrets.
The company was kind enough to give us a month notice and pay our last salary for this month. After that, we have to start looking for a job. Well, I should start looking for one now. But at this moment, I’m really not in the mood to do anything.
Maybe I need to let it sink in. I’ll see what happens tomorrow.
