This is a small world, everyone comes to know what is happening in the surroundings. Probably that is why the news(good/bad, deserving/non-deserving) spreads at a faster rate. This is recession time. The world economy is going down. Companies are making all kind of efforts to remain profitable and not to run out of cash. Where this is not possible there layoffs turns out to be the way to save some cash for the companies. But this strategy sometimes leave behind some very bitter work experiences.
One of my colleague’s wife work in some other company. Few months ago they had a baby girl. So obviously her wife is on maternity leaves. This week 7 people were layed off from her company and she is one of them. I want to say that I know one more company who was in same kind of situation and had to lay of some employees but it waited for the employee on maternity leave to back from the leave and only then she was laid off. How bad is would be for that girl. For me this is just out of ethics. I mean, how can this be done to a mother!!! What would be going through her mind, she needs time to nurture the baby and the company has given her a lot to think about her new job.
Have we become so materialistic or our passions have taken over so much that we have even forgot the basics of life – mother has to be honoured. This is certainly debatable. But, where to debate, can she raise her voice somewhere? I do not know about any such thing, do you know?
