Recession Pangs!!!!

Hi Folks

Wshng al my redrs a vry hppy nu yr.......

In case you are wondering why.... Cost Cutting my friend, Cost Cutting.... lesser words, lesser efforts, lesser time spent and as they say time is money.....

Recession, Recession.....seems to be all I hear nowadays everywhere right from the corporate honchos on TV, news channels (but of course), company execs, leadership, colleagues, my newspaper guy, teashop owner everyone!!! I believe New year celebrations across the country were pretty muted due to the R-word.....

Suddenly, increments, bonuses and all the other perks that every employee enjoyed even without working is all going down the drain for no fault of theirs.... It is lately in vogue just to have a job!!!

Governments are pumping money into the economy, inflation is at an all time high, real estate is as cheap as it can get, banks are facing the crunch etc etc.... the list seems to be endless....

Cant think of anything much else to say as enough has been said and discussed about this topic.... Just wanted to pen my observations. Apologies to those who thought that this was going to be another flurry of expletives and people bashing.....

Here is hoping that 2009 turns out to be a much better year and provides scope for all of us to see more bonuses, increments and all the other works!!!!

Eminence....
