There seems to be some serious disparity between what the news keeps reporting as well as the government budget to "save" jobs, vs the reality on the ground where no jobs have even been lost?
I know of people personally who got retrenched due to COVID. When we say it's due to COVID, it's because the companies are unable to sustain the same number of employees, and as such, have decided to let some go. Some of them have been in the same job for up to 43 years, some less. But it's very real, and very troubling.
