We had been working 5 and half days a week for many years. We were trying to persuade our boss to change to 5 days week. However we were never success.
Latest shocking news: Started this week, the company will implement 4 days week until end of March. For those who still have enough annual leave, those “not working” day will be deducted from annual leave. For those do not have enough annual leave, will be treated as unpaid leave.
We never expect to have a 4 days week in this circumstance.
Since the economic crisis started, we did not feel much on the impact because company’ sale was excellent for the last half financial year. However at the beginning of 2009, the situation is not so encouraging. Orders drop dramatically.
There is pro and con in this matter. How to think positively? Can we be optimistic? Shall we worry about this situation? What can we do in this economic situation? We are just “ants” and “locusts” in this global economic market.
Comes to the second thought, what can we do over the three rest days? Laze around? Or should we have some short trip locally? Should we keep the cash or should we spend to boost up the economic? Hm…..any one has good suggestion?
Open for suggestion.
Just me!! A lady that surviving in the rat race city.
