Why do companies cull employees during financial downturns without saying so?

First having worked in many companies before starting my own venture This is my true experiences and when you are new to the country you are a slave to an employer Companies are only thinking of profit and their benefit and increasing big pay to their CEO and also pleasing their investors and shareholders They dont think of the ordinary people like who is the hard worker who is operating the machine and the line workers They dont think of them there is a movie George Clooney I dont remember the name When the market tanks or economy downturns there is cost cutting layoffs retrenching the staff They dont care a damn The companies want only their benefit All the workers at shop floor level are at risk because they are ones to suffer The managers and supervisors and middle Management personnel will be ok as they can get other jobs So when it comes to stock market crash or say COVID crisis Let us take the COVID crisis Not only you had people millions dying and also many layoffs and downsizing During financial downturns the employee or worker will asked to leave and the worker who has worked for say 15 years 20 years he will get a severance package When the going is good they praise you and be nice to you and you dont achieve the target you are doing your best but due to the financial set back or crisis you are the scape goat and they have a great excuse OH COVID crisis are orders are less or you have not come up to their expectations As long as you are the COW that is giving the milk and reaching your targets they will smile with you and when you stop giving the target They will say we cannot afford to keep you so you have to be let go Tomorrow you can be fired or you can lose your job and you have given your blood sweat they dont care and you have mortgage bills to pay you have to feed your family and your children may have this excursion or trips and then you have to pay The COVID crisis was great eye opener for me and good lesson NOT TO TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED NOT TO PUT THE EGGS IN ONE BASKET Companies bosses supervisors co workers they are not your well wishers and best friends so ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS

Unfortunately in the west only 80% are employed and 20% self employed and when you are in a job you cannot concentrate on anything else because end of the day the traffic the commute you are dead tired to even take up a second job and then you have to think of your health If you are bachelor then go for 2 jobs because you are young I am 58 when I was 20 I had my own business in my home country and it was a great life and after Sept 11 attacks my whole life changed and I had to go into IT computers and I worked in an IT company and then when I came to the West first job was a call centre they said incoming clients not out going clients and they made me work outgoing clients this is how companies fooled me I was a rookie then one day I told my boss If I fall in the ditch you will never bother about me and then that day I started my business and I was a yes man in the beginning I wanted to please the boss and What ever boss told me i was ready to go for the shifts and then for 15 years I was working 100 hrs a week and I really wanted to resign my job in 2010 because I could not as my spouse was part time and when I fell sick in 2018 they wanted to fire me When I reached the age of 55 my health deteriorated and then I resigned during the COVID crisis and Everything came to a halt Unfortunately I missed great opportunities in USA and Europe when I wanted to resign in 2010 Unfortunately I could not resign the job and that was the biggest opportunity I missed

When i lost my 2nd job it was slow down in the market they called me and said you made a mistake i said 15 years I worked and you want to say i made a mistake you want young people and I said My health is not good and I went on leave of absence and resigned during the COVID crisis I got a new boss and she wanted her blue eyed boss to take my position and I had a big fight and from a mouse I became a tiger and I shouted and I said I dont need your job Please put it in the dustbin They dont need me So when one works in a job especially private sector you dont know when you will be given the boot I had enough savings and so to my good luck my spouse got a GOVT JOB but I had my business on the side So I was ok but in difficult times one has to be strong resilient if one loses the job get fired or laid off Just dont be at home in the day go and knock on many doors and you will get the next job When The COVID crisis hit everything came to a halt and then I started online business and then developed that All i can summaries that when such a crisis arise it is always better to be street smart and read between the lines and be prepared they are going to lay you off and start looking for something better I do something always different I never listen to others I weigh the pro and cons and do my research In such situation it is very important to thank the Almighty Father every day and Gratitude is very important PRAYER WORKS WONDERS IN THESE TOUGH TIMES and keep in mind when you get laid off you are all alone and one need a very supportive family that is very important

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

When you are young your health is very good because you are strong only your heart is strong I have no bad habits but I liked all the chinese food and the Mc Donald and Burger King and KFC all junk food I liked because so cheap the prices were so cheap and then when you are young at the end of the day you have time as a bachelor I would spend time in the library coffee shops and build my network Even when I was 40 years I would travel to other cities and build contacts When you reach 55 you have to be established and enjoy life a bit and by this time you can establish your business and you decide the customers and you have to try try try and never give up I wish I came to the West as a student and then started a business and not start business at 55 I hated my job and the employers but I loved my customers Customers were so nice to me and Customers value you and your hard work and your strength and potential They build a trust with you and they have a mental feeling that you can get the job done For that you have to lose sleep and work very hard It is how you view the stuation Are you the person who love to take risks and face challenges road blocks hurdles set backs and ready to fail IN BUSINESS FAILURE IS SECRET TO SUCCESS When my son came to tell me PAPA I failed my driving test I said second time you will pass and he passed So when you are young you have to do lot of things especially Bachelors men and women There are some people want an easy road in life and a very few take the hard road Because I took the hard road and you fall down you get up and it is frusrating it is irritating and fear Mostly fear as What if the business fails

I got fired from 3 jobs I did not get worried I had blind faith in God The Lord and Merciful Almighty Father So we should read between the lines Body Language is very important One has to watch the Body Language of the BOSS THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT IN A JOB You will be so happy because he is nice to you He will smile and get the job down but once the market crashes and when it comes to layoff and down sizing he will save himself first Some bosses play so dirty they wont tell you when you are getting laid off or fired
