Retrenchment

Retrenchment is so real. First time ever in my life do I get so worried and it feels so real.

I just heard from a senior who got retrenched by AIA last Thursday. And now I hear DBS is retrenching 900 staff in Singapore and HK too. Many other banks are also doing it. 

I'm worried. Really worried. Or perhaps I should think positive and plan for alternatives. If it happens, this may be a good turning point for me to do something I really have passion in.

go with the flow..dun overthink too much.... if it happens, maybe its a turning point for you to start something on your own which you always wanted to?

Luxelass,
I clearly know what you mean. I've made redundant last year myself, at that moment in time I feel so shock, sad, worried and confused (I am the only bread winner in my family). But, I trust in God that he'll takecare of me. And in 2 weeks time, I found another job, better pay, closer to home. On the top of that, I received 5 month redundancy pay. Every cloud has a silver lining :-)
However, I hope you are not one of who will be made redundant.
