Worried

The ship is sinking, group yourselves into one...

Everyone is getting worried about the the crisis that is happening all over the world and foreign workers working in Singapore. In Keppel Offshore and Marine, they have announced that they will remove 10% of workforce in each Keppel Company. That includes Keppel Shipyard, Keppel FELS, Keppel Shipyard Benoi, Keppel Singmarine, Keppel Energy, Keppel Logistics, Keppel Land, Keppel Bank or even Keppel Road... Keppel is one big company and its like a household name in SG. They started cutting down the workers from contractors since most of the ship owners files bankruptcy. Just come to think of it, building one ship is not just thousand of dollars, we are talking about millions. They already started taking off people and giving them immediate force resignation, just after Chinese New Year... I have one team, consist of 5 Trainers and now, I am left. Worried enough that I still don't have savings so I am starting to look for some openings in other company. My employment statues in Keppel is 1 year contract and I am hoping to be absorbed, but with what is happening... I am scared and all I can do is hold on with God's promise. It was an awful scenarios, employees cleaning up their desk and wont see them the next day. Cubicles were getting empty everyday. Two months back when the downfall of AIG and Leehman Brothers broke out in public, our SGM assured that Shipping business is not affected by this turmoil... but hence we can now feel the effect. The sudden lost of my whole team? Scary and now I am worried.
