After sitting in a meeting this afternoon during which half of my department was laid-off, all I could think was, ''please don't faint, please don't faint.'' This 'official' recession has officially hit Remington Hotels. Those of us who are incredibly lucky to stay here are on a salary freeze, won't be having a Christmas party, will be learning new positions and most likely will have to turn in all blackberries and cell phones.
Although today was not a happy one in my office, I must give kudos to my employers who handled such a sticky situation so well. The decisions made were not personal, were not based on performance and the package given in severance is pretty amazing. I've witnessed the same situation handled completely opposite and it wasn't pretty. Even though moral is lower than normal, no one feels their incompetence or personality got them in this situation.
I'm lucky right now.
