We were having lunch yesterday with colleagues of other departments & swapping gossips. It seems some of the department heads have been lay-off & sent home. What to do, down-sizing. Company took the opportunity to rid itself of expensive expatriate packages, during this down turn. Wonder if it'll affect small potatoes like us?
Tom ,one of our favorite personal assistants was telling us how he has to "serve" 2 bosses instead of one now. He said it as if it was an achievement, like scaling Mt Everest ! We were all laughing as, before, we never really know what his job was. He's always around gossiping, telling us juicy tidbits of what's happening in the company. He's still doing that, so I suppose he could serve 3 bosses if it comes to that ! It's a win-win situation, company save more cost, Tom gets more news & we get more entertaining gossips.
