Employers around the world are making life hell for employees. Suddenly the same " human resource" who were assets to the company have become their liabilities. As our Inbox is spammed by Boss/Company bashing messages and forwards the truth is that the employee is left at the end of the day like the donkey who toiled breaking his bones and still got water and peanuts for the day meal!
Okay lets not get into the economics of world finance, lets concentrate on our country. This was the year that some unfortunate people like me and my classmates graduated and went out into the big bad world looking for that elusive dream job. Thank God we were sane enough to expect that our first jobs would not be our dream jobs! However none of us had expected to be hit by such a nightmare.
Most companies went on a hiring freeze. People are throwing jargon at random, and the funny thing is that most people are believing in them. "you cannot expect a good job in this gloomy market"; "We are unlucky to have been hit by recession" etc. etc.
A report shows that in the past few months " recession" is the most popularly used word on the internet. Just goes to show the depressed environment that we are living in. But the fact of the matter is that India has not been hit by the recession at all. What exactly is the recession? A recession is a decline in a country's real gross domestic product for two or more consecutive quarters, according to http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/recession
Hence before our country even went from one quarter to another how exactly can you say that we are facing a recession? What we are facing is a slowdown, and not a recession. Anyway how does it matter, because our employers are using the R-word as the alibi to do almost anything to the employees. Cut pay, cost cutting, lay offs, and a million other fancy sounding things which basically leave us all screwed up at the end of the day. It is a smart ploy that these guiys have come up with but what they do not realize is that the wheel of fortune shall turn. The same employees who they treat like trash, are actually the asset, and if you do not value your own asset, you are in for trouble.
