Category 5 Storm - Layoff
Hurricane in Wall Street..!!
We could see Dark Clouds far approaching our Workplace. There were High Winds of Gossips making a roaring n howling sound creating a strong aura of fear. Weathermen in our Team saw the budget indicators and they are predicting that a Category 5 Storm is developing in the Gulf of Charlotte, North Carolina could cross the shore of our Office anytime next week. They named it "Layoff". The storm is estimated to take around 5000 victims.
There were similar storms all across America in various workplaces taking a toll of around 2million jobs till date. It is still the beginning of the year and the Economy is showing its worse. The taste of a layoff might be bitter.. but still bitter is also a taste.... I told myself better get used to it.
Though there was pressure all around.. my thoughts were running in a different direction... I was feeling like going home.. spend time with family.. go on my Dream Trek - Mt Everest Base Camp... Call it "Time to Celebrate Recession"..Pool a group and go to Goa... "Crack some Pot and Smoke some Weed..." What not... :)
My only Confidence is.... Though there may not be 100,000 Jobs in the market after 3 months when I come back... but all I need is Just One.. and some how I am convinced that I can do something for living.... "Greed rules Wall St... May be I dont belong here".
With all these Dark Clouds and High Tides - The Sailor began his Journey. Brother Barack is coming up with interesting ideas to stimulate the Economy and create more Jobs. I wish him Luck.
Finally, Just accept whatever we get and be happy bcoz..
