I thought the current recession will take it turns and will end without affecting our company’s business. Though our company has taken measures of postponing salary increases or any promotions and cutting some expenses didn’t guarantee everyone’s job security. I thought that as long as our major clients are doing okay (I haven’t heard anything about their economic downturns in the news) we will be fine.

Our company has started reducing the number of people from our department, we’re not that many from our team, we’re only 5 now 4. I was in Colour Conference when I was told by our director that one of us will get redundant and that it was happening as well in our different offices around the globe. I was saddened and shocked because I no longer thought that we are vulnerable to the recession. I didn’t really see it coming and never felt its impact until that day.

And just yesterday I read the news from our portal that they have closed one of our offices.
