Blogchatter A2Z: Unemployment

With the rise of unfairness, companies started following a new trend, "Let's lay off."

Rahul and his colleague Rohan were sitting in the cafeteria of their office building discussing the layoffs, shaking them and affecting people, including their friends and acquaintances. While sipping coffee, they overheard a coworker, Sonu, talking about company management's plan to lay off from their company soon.


They looked at each other in surprise but did not dare to reach out to that person for details. Rahul and Rohan sat quietly, putting all ears to the layoff news. But Sonu's friends noticed other employees in the cafeteria and asked him to stop, as people would start spreading rumors. Confused, Rahul and Rohan got up from their chairs and ran to their group to break the news.


When they shared layoff news with other friends, one of the friends told them I heard that too. HR is my friend. She told me the company prepared a list of 200 employees who would get laid off. He also told them layoff depended on the managers' feedback. It terrified them even more. Things changed after that day. Work pressure spiked, and everyone started pushing their limits so that layoffs did not affect them.


After a month, emails popped up in the morning stating,


Dear employee,


We hope this email finds you well. It is to inform you that your tenure with our company is ending. You have two choices. Either serve an official notice period or take the compensation and get early relief.


This step is in accordance with cost-cutting, and we believe you will cooperate with us.


Regards

Admin


Rahul and Rohan did not receive this email but came to know about it from their friends who received the email. It shook them. They double-checked their emails but felt they did not find the layoff email.


Their friends asked for their advice and decided to take compensation and started their search for a new job. But the job market was down, and it took them six months to land a new job.

Pulled towards each other, they would keep an eye on their partner. If one runs outside the class, the other eventually gets some urgent work to take care of. It is a tale about two best friends, Abhir and Ahana, who grew up studying in the same school. From a tender age, they were tight-knit with each other. From sharing their tiffins to sharing their secrets, they did it all. While growing up, they did not realize entering into their Secondary Education, the time they had to bid each other bye. It was the best year of their lives, and they knew now was the time to confess their feelings to each other. The final exams were around the corner, and they were actively preparing for a renowned competition that was to happen near Christmas, the Gala Event of the Year. Busy working on their projects throughout the day in school and meeting in the evening to finish the assignments before the contest timeline. They knew it was the last opportunity to spend more time with each other, as afte

She shouted at her mom, "You always do this to me. See, now I will be late again to school because of you."  Mrs Dixit, a woman in her mid-forties enduring her kid's lashes and tantrums, became habitual of the fact no matter how much she tried, they would always blame her for their mistakes. But that morning was different. She walked off before her younger daughter, who misbehaved with her. Sheenu, a teenager and Mrs. Dixit's younger daughter was more moody and repulsive in accepting anything against her wishes. Every morning, she would wake up late, even after multiple trials by her mother, to wake her and start the fiasco of blaming her mother. "Oh! Poor kid, why don't you get ready? There is still time. You will make it," her mother prompted.  It irritated Sheenu even more. She mumbled how her mother could behave as if nothing happened. She started throwing things she could get hold of. Bucket, mug, reaching to the kitchen, turning off the gas, tellin

If you feel stuck with these two questions, you will find your solutions while reading further. Like you, I have come across the same situation several times. It was when I had nowhere to go and decide what to do in life. After numerous trials in doing what I wished, I failed miserably. So, how do I overcome such a scenario?

You can categorize them as short-term and long
