Job Loosing
I am working for a big computer company and I was assigned in the warranty department. We basically call customers with expiring computer warranties and offer them an extended service warranty so their system will be covered by parts replacement and re more diagnosis and in home service plus technical support assistance from our company’s certified technicians. But this year, we experience a decreased in units being sold compared to previous years as a result of word wide recession. Customers now wants to take the risk and decline the warranty since they do not want to spend extra. Computers are now being offered at a very cheap price so it is just more convenient for customers to buy a new one than extend the warranty since they may not use the warranty after all.
Just last week, the sad news was laid to us, the company will be having a mass lay off and my name was on the list. I have been working for the company for the past five years and the news came to me in a shock. But that’s the way it is. I need to find another job and hopefully I will land in a stable job again. I will receive due compensation but loosing a job is always hard to accept and it undermines my self esteem. But we need to move on. It will be difficult to give up your comfort zone but we need to grow and find a new work place. We’ve already done all the comfortable and familiar things. To create new value, we need to step out into new territory.
