Retrenchment Sucks Big Time

Twice retrenched. Both in aviation. Nak kata tawar hati tu, tawar hati la jugak. Nak kata asyik-asyik balik comfort zone tu, that is a lie because I know his struggle mencari kerja tu macam mana. He jobhopped for quite some time from aviation to oil & gas and then back again in aviation but different field, and he just decided this year to settle down in Honeywell.

For people to simply say "Eh buka sikit minda tu, jangan terperuk in aviation je", just please stop.. You don't know what he went through to get to where he is right now. Don't say anything if you don't have anything nice to say.

To say "Don't be too stressed out" to someone who has just lost their job or source of income, it's like telling people to stop grieving over the loss of someone they loved.

At this point, we swallowed everything people said to us be it nice or bad things. Let's just hope you don't end up in the same boat like us. If you don't understand other people's pain, just be thankful that you never had to go through what they did.
