There's a major issue at work and if you are in the same industry i'm in, you would surely know of the amount of retrenchment that is going on at the same time.


Big design firms are letting people go 10, 20 at a time.


Many of my classmates and past colleagues are affected.



I got another paycut. 10%



Got the letter from HR last friday evening so you can pretty much imagine the mood i'm in these past few days.




I hope everyone reading this is doing ok, hopefully this is more or less contained within the construction and Archi firms.




Honest words.


I feel like shit. hahaha....



Good men are being forced to leave my office because of the economy. I am the only one left in my original team, part of me is glad my some of my staff left before the shit storm hit them.


Hopefully things get better.



Don't worry, i will update as often as i can.


It's been a rough ride this couple of months.



I need a while to sort out my thoughts.





Maybe it's really time to consider writing full time . haha.



Just kidding.

....



I'm generally ok, just a rough patch i need to suck it up and move on.


Latest update is almost done. Let me read it through a few more times before i post it.



I'm counted about 10-12 more updates before my adventure in the office ends.


If i can update regularly, this should end by Oct.






There is always a silver lining . I got materials and a new story source for next piece of major work after my adventure in the office.


It'll be a romantic comedy for once.


Something a bit light-hearted.









Cheers

ilock.

You're back...! I didn't come online for some time myself because I just broke up with my boyfriend(my fiance actually) due to 3rd party issues.. I've just started to pick myself up and I came back sbf yesterday.. Was kinda disappointed that you were away for a long time.. Anyway, take care and all the best..

[Andrea90]

Take care TS, hope to see your update soon!

Take care bro. Settle your stuff first.

Hi ilock,

With every downturn or disaster there lies opportunities for those who kick on it's door. Writing full time I don't suggest because doing something u like and pressured to do for money in the end seldom turns out well. But I would encourage the rest who do buy his stories to continue supporting him as he deserves it. Unfortunately my shitty currency does not allow me to do as much as I would like to. So here's to a better tmrw

Cheers

Bro iLock

Take care bro. The economic slow down is real so it is critical to persevere.

But you have unmatched talent to write and probably one day we can see your stories being made info a movie.


XiaoAi,

Take care there. Time shall heal and never give up.

Even the way bro ilock is explaining himself, i felt like i am reading a story. Very anxious to read the next line. Anyway i understand what bro ilock is going thru. Hope everything will be fine.

When you work for others must endure all kinds of crap, be the one to get pay cut whilst the boss continue to enjoy the same standard of living.

Remember this adage "the more the staffs' remuneration can be lowered the more the manager is worth to the company!" So what can you expect?

No wonder some people would rather be a taxi driver or hawker, be self employed. Work harder earn more money. Lazy earn less only got own self to blame! Glad I no longer in the rat race.
