A quiet day at the office
My work place has never been this quiet for a long time. The day started with very few problems, unusual considering the nature of my work. All of a sudden just around 10:00 am there was a buzz going around that someone has been made redundant. I could see people just standing up from their desk and doing a head count. Managers moving around with a notebook in hand means something. One by one people were called for meetings with their managers. A unknown feeling arouse within all our teams.Things unfolded very quickly as we came to know who were made redundant. Unbelievable it was. You could see people having discussions in the kitchen, their desks. All you hear was just whispers. It was a strange day at office. I wasn’t affected but the events did have an effect one me. Well you could do nothing but watch and console the one’s affected. Hopeful that I wont have to see this situation again.
