Personally I had heard and experience myself the fear of being retrench and the unintended consequences following it. I had seen families broken due to quarrels over financial issues, depression due to ego of being retrenched, unwillingness to accept the fact they are retrenched etc...

I understand that a lot of times its not solely the individual's fault that he/she got retrenched but mostly due to the realities of the economic cycle...
Furthermore it seems that a lot of sg ppl tend to forget the realities of retrenchment coz to them it seems such a distance past and most of them have the mentality it wont happen to me since i am an ace performer, i am in the management team etc ( correct me if I am wrong)

So I think now is actually a good opportunity to discuss these issues coz sharing is caring
