It's time to reassess her life, career and do wherever she wants but not able to during employment.

Hope she doesn't have loans to service..

My workplace also.. In Dec..

when no certainty on any new job always tricky..

Not say loan but commitment to her family loh.. 

when I was retrenched 12 years back also scary.. got the retrenchment compensation but dare not anyhow spend.. lunch is just instant noodles. Lucky my home loan still payable via CPF till almost dry up then heng got a job,

With or without limit? It is quite commme for companies to cap at 6 months max pay out in sgp. Some are worse, they pay only 2 weeks for every year of service , though also max max at 6 months pay out, meaning one has to work for 12 years to get 6 months.

Actually, happen to me also.. I'm in the Dec batch in my company. They are retrenching people every month 🙄

Good thing I don't have loan commitment.. only the kids to take care of.. We are cutting down on their enrichment classes..

Could be due to their Financial Year closing? All want their book to look good where it is actually bad.

Yes.. I'm also from printer MNC.. It's actually part and parcel.

Lately they also talk about acquisition with another... More jobs are expected to go...

The games those big boys play that affects the livelihood of the others 👎

Thanks bro. Honestly, it's an opportunity for a timeout to recuperate.. my health issue and catch up on stuff I've never been able to focus on in the past..

Just signed up yoga lesson last week. Hopefully that class isn't full of old aunties 🤪

highly likely because you are not working and choosing the slots that only retired aunties or MILF taitais can afford to attend.
