Something Interesting at Work
I was at work a couple nights ago, when we was having our periodic meeting. Our periodic meetings are usally is a feedback of how the company is doing in the economy. Since the economy isn't doing well, we been facing alot of changes. Our company is constantly making changes, so we could adapt to the economy. The changes are basically to save the company money. We as workers are doing more work with less staff. In one way of looking at the situation is at least I still have a job. During one of those meeting my manager said the company is considering closing our station down and expanding more in Asia. He didn't mention the cause for that, but I believe the reason is lower cost for operation. Globalizion is not only effecting third world country workers, it also effects first world country workers. However globalization would be saving my company more money. Globalization is like a coin, with a good side and a bad side. Someone will benefit from globalization and someone will suffer from globalization.

Great post - the whole idea of 'doing more with less' is big with companies these days. What do you think it means for you?
ReplyDeleteThis so true. I recently got layed off from my job and they gave me the bs excuse saying that they needed to cut back expenses. When did i become an expense. lol. Well anyway goodluck with your job.
ReplyDeleteit is ok to work more. at least you have the job. think of others who were laid off- it's a headache or big problem. be thankful that you have the job.
ReplyDeleteI think more for less, is what we need to do fix the economy. Maybe it is enough, but we thought it is more for less because we wasn't use to doing enough.
