Thanks but NO Thanks


This piece of good-news-bearing document is hardly any reason for me to even raise an eyebrow to, despite its sender’s intention to get a seemingly positive message across.

(Fired? Hired?...Whatever!)


Unless, your idea of motivation includes a clear sight of endless round of uphill struggles ahead…with a dark cloud permanently mounted atop you!

Ambiguity


Say whatever the heck they will, I’d still think the words that comes outta their collective mouth are nothing but a bunch of stinking lie-covering crap.

And so they said,
“In the last few years, the Division’s businesses have become very challenging to operate and the division has been incurring losses.”

But I think,
I would really like to know if there is such a thing as “Un-Challenging Business” exists in a vicious world we live in today. If conducting a business is so easy then why do you think we didn’t choose to be our own boss in the first place…so that we could provide you guys chances to screw us around like this???

And so they said,
“Despite efforts to turn it around, the Division has not been able to reverse its continuous poor performance.”

But I think,
By the phrase “efforts to turn it around”, do you mean stubbornly sticking to the old ways of doing things in the name of upholding company’s policies? Or we are so great so superior that people will continue giving us business even though we refuse to comply with the raging market trends?
Wow! What a plan…to FAIL!!!

And so they said,
“Regrettably, we have decided to wind down all non-viable businesses within Division that have little prospect of turning around.”
“The staff strength in the Division will be reduced through a downsizing exercise.”

But I think,
Oh, or in other words, you guys are trying to make us pay for all of your mistakes, just because we had no choice but to follow the sure-fail path laid down by a bunch of shirt-and-tie-and-power-suit-people such as yours huh?

And so they said,
“The Company appreciates that many of you have a track record of service with us. Hence, before carrying out any compulsory retrenchment exercise, the Company has decided to offer a Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) exercise to all staff within the affected Divisions.”

But I think,
Hmmm, are you guys saying that we should be thankful for the mercy that is to be shown, before you people single-handedly ruin our lives with any means that you see fit?

And so they said,
“We know that you will understand and support circumstance of this difficult decision which the Company has to make to ensure our continued competitiveness in the market and to strengthen our company overall business in the long-run.”

But I think,
WHATEVER! We couldn’t care less if you guys survive the future or not! Shut up and give us the money already!!!


Well you see, having spent a substantial amount of times with this kind of people who tend to babbling away with anything but the truthful truth, I myself also learnt a trick or two about not saying what I really mean. For example:

(NAH!)


You may think I am just expressing my anger via a finger motion in the above.

But NO! Not really,

(NAH!!! NAH!!!)


What I really meant to say :
“SPARE ME THE CRAP BEFORE I LOST IT & DECIDED TO SHOVE THESE FINGERS OF MINE DOWN YOUR THROAT YOU CREEP!!!”

It’s rather amusing to witness the amount of hypocrisy one could pick-up along this road we called THE RAT RACE.

You shall willingly surrender your badge now!



I do not know which one is worse…

Given an option to become nothing but a quitter,

Or,

Being prematurely yanked outta one’s comfort zone.

Spare me your heavily-fabricated sense of courtesy; I have no time for your freak show as I’m too busy showing myself the way out.


(Just cut the crap & give me the bottom line!)
