11 more working days..
.. til the end of an era.

This is my first and only 'real' job thus far. In the blink of an eye, it's been 3.5 years. I still remember when I blogged about getting this job and it's almost over.

The company I work for has been in the news a lot locally and internationally in the past 1.5 years due to endless demerging, restructuring, acquisitions and now an impending takeover. After the 1st wave of corporate restructuring last November, much of the 'fun' has seeped out of the place. In the beginning, people were afraid of losing their jobs so many scrambled for the few that were up for offer - taking paycuts and lower posts just to have a paycheck to bring home over Christmas.

I belong in a different boat to those sad, sad people. I was a different kind of sad. I stuck around waiting for them to make me redundant and when February came and gone, I worked up the courage to ask for it, albeit thanks to a loophole in my contract which I have been conveniently sitting on for 6 months. So I've been told I'm entitled to a redundancy since April but I couldn't leave until August..

August 17th will be my Independence Day. Come celebrate with me :)
