People, there is no need for arguing. I was kind of hesitant to even post this because I knew how sensitive it was but I said f it because it was important. Let me just make one thing clear....forewarning is NOT negativity.
Let me tell you a story. A few years ago when the media hyped up how our economy was so bad and ppl were loosing their jobs, I thought nothing could happen to me because I was in my job in the call center for 7 years and there were many higher ups than me that would go first. In fact, I thought I had the safest job because I had a bachelors degree and I was the last one to leave as I was the supervisor who closed at night and was probably one of the most competent employees there.
Until last year they called me in HR one day out of the blue and said my position was being eliminated. I will never forget that day. And whats even worse? Just last month, the client (a huge food company you all know!) ended their contract with my previous employer so all my old co-workers are without jobs now collecting or already went to new jobs!!
The moral? DON'T THINK NOTHING BAD/CRAPPY CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!!
