Don't trust your bosses

Well.. something that I haven't been mentioning in my blogs is the meeting about heard of Technology, superior authority and Director of Technology have had taken all hands meeting stating that no one would be laid off in Technology at any cost. The went one step further in saying that in taht situation they would need Tech people more than anytime before, as focussing on non-US market and multi lingual and more gaming products would increase the need of technology. and Today bang at 12:56, there is mail from HR Head talking about layoffs in Technoloy. Worst thing, these guys knew about it before, but still such false claaimes were made. Let us go one step further, 99% I am going to be laid off,

considering less experienced people would be laid off first, I got a leave sanctioned of next Thursday. Now what if I get laid off tomorrow and I the tickets that I purchased are totally useless? Such a sucking feeling. But as fasr as all people are concerend they all wanted to be laid off due to the rumor of god damn high compensation. [Originally written on 1st Nov 2006]
