Recently it seems like a norm to see the word retrenchment and recession.Many fear these words or even avoid discussing them. Are they so scary?

Maybe, when it is being abused. When I say abused, I mean there are companies who are misusing them with the current situation.

I see companies taking advantages by forcing you to work late, not to take leave and acting like tyrants just because its declared recession and many are being retrenched. The employees who work hard for the entire year now have to see bad things coming their way. Some may even see pay cut , bonuses and even benefits forgone even if companies do well.

So does it mean we at such expenses we still need to stay in the job just to make our ends meet, stayed employed? I foresee many employees will have to grit their teeth just to stay employed.
