It’s been a very sad day. I was feeling anxious since this morning because I was already anticipating the bad news from Marcelle’s office. Who would have thought that a stable company like theirs will feel much more get affected by the global financial crisis?
Earlier in the afternoon I was already getting “hints” from previous bosses that some really got laid-off, but I never expected that there were a lot! From the twenty-one (21) Team Leads, only eleven (11) got retained. Four (4) were also permanently laid-off from the Project Management, the section where I worked before. Plus a lot more from other sections. Bad.

Compared to the other companies out there, theirs are so kuripot but what’s keeping these people from leaving the company is the camaraderie and positive spirit they have built all these years. I know that as I have been with them for 9 years. I am just thankful that I left the office earlier than this or else…baka ako ang naunang naospital sa kakaiyak kanina.

Marcelle arrived late today (2am), he was so silent and so “disoriented” but I still managed to ask him how the day went. I know that he wanted to talk about it, ako din. We were so lucky that he wasn’t included and that he still has a job but we couldn’t feel any happiness because almost all of our TL friends lost theirs!

I never heard nor seen Marcelle cry but today he confessed that he really cried after the meeting
