What's the most shocking Christmas gift did you receive?

@DomMan67 Does your company name starts with W?

@1sakuradoll08 I will send it to you in a direct message.

@DomMan67 ok.

@bijouxbroussard Yeah, business is business. This thing can happen anytime even at the most unexpected occasion.

@Gibbon true. some companies are heartless. well, it's all about business. If they don't like me, I don't like them too!

@1sakuradoll08 I don't think it's a matter of like. Unless of course it's a small company where personal interactions play a bigger snooty role.
I think it's adout company needs and functional requirements and capabilities. I survived all those layoffs. The first one happened my first year there. I felt a kind of internal shame and anger at the same time. The only time I experienced a layoff was when a company I worked at for 14 years closed our division. 50% were let go day one. I was given 3 months notice. The last ones out were on 4 months notice. Everyone however got a three month severance package and the ability to Cobra their health insurance. Everyone also was given relocation options and job location training. I was at a salary level from longevity I knew I would not obtain in the hiring market for my position. I took a big cut in finding new work.

@Gibbon I experienced retrenchment in the past too due to company mergers so I'm used to this but didn't see it coming for the holidays. This is a global company, it's big. Nonetheless, I still have my part time job where I can earn money full time now. At least I have a fall back.

@JRVanguard It will be. No worries. I still have a part-time job where I can log in anytime to make it full time. Just done eating spaghetti, a Christmas left over 😁, @ 2:41 a.m. Soon to work @ 5 a.m.

@1sakuradoll08 Enjoy your spaghetti 🤗
Merry Christmas to you

@novaguy2u thank you!

@4meAndyou Yep, I just tried this WFH corporate job to see the business again with people around. Soon, I'll be confined again to my solitary work full time!

@1sakuradoll08 That can be very hard. They say it's as though you never get to leave work.

@4meAndyou I can set my own hours, so it's flexible.

@1sakuradoll08 🤔well i am glad too see you are positive about this

@smiler2012 As they say, if a door closes, some windows will open.
