I was laid-off

Tweet

Have you ever been in a status of your life enjoying a good position and having a clear vision of yourself years from then and suddenly, you learned that you are laid-off? That is soooo depressing and frustrating. I was then working in textbook publishing firm based in the Philippines. As copy editor, I enjoyed and endured so much challenges and responsibilities trusted to me by my superior. I was also then enjoying a a very competitive monthly compensation. I had then a clear vision of my self with my family several years from then. But all my concrete plans started to break down when I was asked buy our company president to his office and broke to me the decision that I am one of the employees to be laid off. I accepted that, since I'm already fed up with the situation. His firm is already struggling hard to stay afloat. And there, since I want to help him, and since I also had no choice since I'm already in the list, I left that firm. Days passed by. I just stayed at home with so heavy depression and frustration. I always asked myself why that had to happen. Until now, that is unanswered. So there, instead of letting the time and days pass by idly, I started looking for another job. But sad to say, the competition now is so had. Until now, I'm still unemployed but with a lot of passion and hope that I could have another job. What I want to point out now is that each of us should never lose hope and passion to live. I believe things happen for a reason.
