I've been retained but it's a very hollow feeling. Lots of others who don't contribute much from I've seen have been kept whilst plenty of others who are hard workers and good people have been let go. It's not right at all. People are clearing their desks out crying and yet management expect the stayers to just crack on and keep working, as if nothing. How can anyone do a phone job when theres people sobbing around you.
I feel like walking out right now and telling them to stick it but my mum has advised to wait and give myself the weekend to think about.
Good advice from your mum there.
Wouldn`t look good on your CV / reference if you told them to " stick it "
Although it would give enormous satisfaction.
The way they got rid of people in my last job was by " managing them out ".
Which in reality meant piling so much work on people that they buckled under the pressure and left.
Or if they were senior, they piled the work on, made them share secretaries / typists, so their work backed up.
If they didn`t buckle, they would turfed out of their own office and they had to sit with the staff in the general office.
It was horrendous and the worst working environment I`ve ever been in.
