Hell Meeting

Just came back from a 'hell meeting'.. and it is so relief knowing that i am the survival one...

Yup, facing this global economic crisis, everyone must do something in order to survive.. and one of the way is the so called efficiency; or in the other word is sacking the employees.... ugh.. For this purpose, any head division in my company must do the presentation bout his/her division - with extra details, in front of all the board; the almighty board.

And today is my time...
So.. I have to present all the jobs in my division, all the things that should been done, all my staff's doing.. all in details.. and the almighty board argued bout most of the things.. yeah, they did do their job very well..
Frankly, this meeting was the hardest meeting I've ever had...
I have no problem with public speaking, have no problem at all in even a hard discussion with those almighty people... but, this time is different coz it's not about myself nor my job.. it's about other people's life... I have to defend all my staff, considering their life, their family's life.... all my staff counted on me.. huah.. its burden me so much...

And then.. the judgement's time..
A unanimous decision from all the member of the board : i manage the division well, it considered effective & efficient. even more, I can propose an additional staff next year..

Whuaaah.... no one in my division would be in the termination list... thank god...
