It was so sad to announce that are company is having a cost cutting and experiencing a ramp down. They will pull out 180 employees and I am one of them. I don't know what seems to be the basis. Christmas is coming. I do not know what to do. The people who are included in the lists are really surprise why I am in the list. They know how do I perform. Not to boastfully say, I am included in the top performers of the year. I even ask for the explanation but they did not answer me. It is really unfair. i don't see any reason for me to be out of the company. there are lot of employees who don't perform but they were retained.What should i feel about this? It is really unfair. I have start all over the again. I have to do with the application process again. I am really depress.How will I move on?Its Christmas time,my family needs me.Needs my support.

oh my god rberon..it's so sad to hear that...

have you set aside soem funds to get by while you're searching for another income?

what are you planning to do now?


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 614 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

The only savings that I have now is my earnings online and to be honest that earnings will not save me for one week, so it is really small. I have lots of bills to settle. I do not know what to do as of this moment. Christmas is past approaching. I will start looking for another job by monday. sad


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 318 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

oh..that's tough...

it's not that easy to find jobs..especially this season..

companies tend not holf off hiring when christams is apporaching...i dont know why they do that.

maybe you could apply for a quick loan, just to hav something for the meantime..and make sure you spend your money wisely..

relatives could maybe help too.


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 614 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

I think i cannot expect any help from them. They also need help. Quick loans here in our place is not applicable.they are giving big rates which is not fair to the borrower. yes, you are correct that when Christmas is past approaching, very few company hires. the company promise that they will take good care of us but if they will not able to find a new account for us, we will just be given by the separating pay. how sad. i have work very hard.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 318 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

oh..that's really tough,,,i cant imagine how to deal with it if i were inyour place.im a single mom and im working alone for my son..and helping my mom and sister on the process.if i lose my job we all starve...

what can you do aside from doing PTP/forums? are you good in writing articles?


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 614 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

I am very glad that filipinos are really very supportive when situation like this happened, I am really thankful for your support. I am a member of some review sites in the internet. If I would have some amount, I am planning to invest in some legitimate sites in the internet. I hope I will not experience any scams. My family needs me so I have to look for a new job sooner or later. sad

happyThat's really very sad and disappointing to lose a job especially at these very hard times. Anyway, just look at the brighter side of it, "if one door closes, many windows will open". .. . I'm sure, with the experience and track record you have, you will soon get a new and better paying job.

Good luck and wish you all the best. Have a good day. happy

i felt unfair for you. it's really a sad thing to know that life is so unfair. i really don't understand why your company retain employees who don't perform while pulling out people who perform well just like you. it must have to do with your company's politics. otherwise, how can your company survives in the long run if the top management doing things in this way.


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 614 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

I can really see that there is a politics in our company, we are divided in the different groups, and each group has its own supervisor. Lucky for those other employees because they were able to depend their subordinates. I did not see any effort from my supervisor to defend me from our operations manager. Actually, my supervisor is also included in the list of the supervisor who will be out of the company, maybe that is the reason behind of the not depending me.I am really sad and disappointed, it is not easy to find a new job as of this moment.

I know what you feel. My dad has the same situation 9 months ago. He is also one of the top performer. And yes! After few months, the company re-called him. Now, he is fixing his papers to work again with the company.


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 614 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

Good for him. With us, we are only given one month. If we will not be endorse in other account, we will be given a separation pay, and that's all. it is really hard to accept in my part coz i know to myself that I have performed. i have been part of the top performers of the year. I do not know how to move on in this kind of situation.


myLot reputation of 87/100. starsailover (1240)   ranked 5,983 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

My dad is in same situation of you he will probably will be fire next month. It's really sad but companies don't have a heart to undertand human feelings. Hope you find something to do for the next months, not neccesary a new job

It is indeed very difficult but have faith in yourself and god because when one door closes another opens up. Instead of getting depressed consult some good recruitment agency to get a new one. Search another job with a positive framework of mind and then you will get a good one.


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 614 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

thanks for the motivation. it is just hard to accept for myself to be part of the said ramp down because i know to myself that i have performed.can you imagine an employee without no late and no absences for the past 1 year and 4 months and will be remove to the company? An employee belonging to the top 5 performers of the company?How will you move on in that case? It is really depressing right?I am so sorry to say this, I am just very sad to what has had happened.

rberon1985,

Move on!

If you are really as good as what you have said about yourself here, then I am sure you would get a very good testimonial from your current company that is laying you off.

You cannot afford to look back and keep asking unanswerable questions or reasons of your retrenchment. It just happens and the company would not dwell on the details with you, no matter what your contributions had been. Just accept reality and walk away.

Start sending out resumes everywhere including head hunting agencies and pray hard for an interview or acceptance. If you have been an excellent performer with credible results to show, then I am relatively confident that you will be quite a hot item to the hiring market.

Take care and all the best. happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 614 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

I love your response. I am really motivated with it. I think you have been out for quite sometime. It is only now that you have posted.what happen?Were you busy? Anyway, going back, even though I am good, it is not easy to look for a job during this time because of recession and christmas is past approaching as well. But I will have a try. i will try searching for a new job on monday. i hope I get the job soon. I don't want to be hang for a long time. There are many people who needs my support,so I can't leave them. thanks and happy mylotting!!


myLot reputation of 81/100. skysuccess (2405)   ranked 1,667 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

rberon1985,

Well, I am just glad to be of help.

I have been around if you can see my posted discussions and responses. Anyway, in times like these always expect the worse but this is for you to prepare your next step than to fall into depression.

Louis Pasteur once said: "Chance favors the prepared mind", so I am sure things will work out eventually but not so if you do not do your planning, preparations and go about with your bidding.

Chin up and take care.

Sorry to hear. The recession sucks for everyone, everyone that works!
Don't take it personally though- when companies cut people they are minimalising the number of job positions and not because u didnt perform well. It's not quite xmas yet, gather ur strength, make new applications, spend time with your children, be there for each other- work for people who appreciate you!


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 614 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

I appreciate your response. As of this moment, i am still single, but I am supporting my family in their daily needs. i hope i can find a new job soon . it is really hard to find a new job now.

I am very sorry that you lost your job, and it is very unfair, but don't take it personally and don't let it affect how you feel about your self. They are letting a lot of people go so it is not personal and probably has nothing to do with how well you did your job it all comes down to money unfortunately. I know starting over is very difficult, but put your best face forward and get your confidence up. I firmly believe things happen for a reason, perhaps there is a better job out there waiting for you, go out and find that great job.


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 614 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

That is why I always love posting discussions about the problem that i am experiencing in my daily life. All the members her are very helpful in all the members problem. They always provide quality advices. I will have all the information that you have provided be noted. I really hope that sooner or later, i will get my new job.

list of termination. We all are knew that the situation is going to
be very worst, because we need some kinds economic supports to run
our family otherwise it will be very big heart pain, especially our
kids are going to ask something from us. So don't worry and be confident
because this is a part of life and anything can happen, we will be ready
to face anything to run our family. From my part I going to pray for you
to get the Jobs on Monday and you will get some good news from the new
company soon.

So be prepare yourself and get ready for anything, and also do anything
what is going to get any types of job now, to manage the family now,
I wish God will helps to get some Jobs on Monday to satisfy our heart.
I knew the pain when we have lost the jobs, because that is our back
bone and without jobs we can not move forward especially when we are
having the family. So hope that God will gives strong heart and hope

I am again wishing you to get the Job at the earliest in order to have
the same life like before without any complication. Just be confident

Tack care

myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 614 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

I am not actually terminated, the account has just need to lessen the number of employees, we are regular regular employees so the company cannot remove us in the position. they will be looking for another job for us in other sites or other branches, if they will not be able to find any account for us, they will just pay us with the separation pay. It is really sad because Christmas is past approaching. It is really hard to look for another job. I am getting tired because I have to start all over again. sad

HI rberon,

Sad to hear about this bad news from you.

Your company should give you an explanation on why they pull you out since you are performing well in your work all the time.
The most important thing is that get your testimonial before you leave your company tomorrow.

Be strong to face this hard decision!! Don't forget that your families and friends are always there for you.

You can start doing a job hunting and based on your so many years working experiences,you should be able to get a better job.

Wish you good luck in your job hunting.


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 614 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

"Your company should give you an explanation on why they pull you out since you are performing well in your work all the time.
The most important thing is that get your testimonial before you leave your company tomorrow. "
I am waiting for their explanation about it, but haven't receive any feedback from them. I am looking forward for a new job in the next coming days but I know it will not be very easy. I have a lot of adjustments to make. New friends, new products and new learnings. happy

hi rberon1985 welcome to the club out of work, I feel for'
you, I truly do. I have been privy to the same misery for'
my own son, and he has been out of work now for almost 11 months
and he has been really looking too. rberon,dont feel that you did anything wrong, big companies in lots of countries cut back and just go eeny meeny miny mo, this one and this one and this one have to go,I don't think that they even look at you employees's records, they just cut randomly and cruelly too I might add.
what should you feel about this? well if you are like my son, angry and upset, but then you have to get past that and tell yourself maybe this will just lead me to find a much better'jog as I was a very good employee where I was,I am experienced and someone will really like me. chin up smile things will get better hatley here.


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 614 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

I am so honored having a response from the pioneer members of this site. I am actually upset the decision of the company. Since I started with the company, I have given all the best that i can to keep my good status in the company. then this time, when they will have to lessen the number of employees, they will include my name, even though i gave them a good performance. It is really unfair.I can't control myself to be disappointed because i know to myself that i have really performed.


myLot reputation of 86/100. Hatley (21550)   ranked 1,344 out of 38,443 in life  3 months ago

hi rberon yes it really is unfair, and wish they had not
done that to you. However I think you will get an even
better job with the experience you have. sure hope so anyway.
