Recession and vacations

One thing which recession has done is increase the number of job cuts in most of the firms. There is fear amongst employees, as to who will be the next in line. My neighbor's son is working as a Software Engineer in USA. He was supposed to come home during December for vacation, having spent his last 2 years over there. But now as the neighbor informs me, his son has decided against traveling. He is afraid that there might be a chance that they might not take him back at all. He is afraid that he might receive his termination notice against the leave application which he has to file.

My wife's cousin sister is one more example I came to know of, having a similar fear. Though she is coming for her brother's marriage in December, her husband has expressed inability to come , and the reason being the same which has been stated above.

Forget thinking of vacations, my mom's aunt was telling me, her son is in tension daily. Daily morning he prays to God that he should not receive a termination notice once he reaches office. Daily before leaving his office, he thanks God that he has not received it.

God Bless all.
