Fear Of Loosing Your Job In Economic Crisis

The current economic scenario is grim with lot of uncertainties bugging the whole world and in this period of crisis India is also not left behind. In India, the employer employs the entire family of the individual. The family’s identity is impacted by the organization. Organization expects unwavering loyalty from their employees but when they have to choose between their interests and the interests of their employees, they always ignore the employees. So, when an employee is asked to leave, it takes away the sense of pride of the parents, the spouse, and the children. The emotional impact of the lay-off is so much more than just the loss of livelihood.

Work gives meaning to your life. If most of your identity resides in the business card in your wallet, then the moment the organization shreds that card, the individual’s identity also gets dismantled. So, never let an organization determine who you are. The corporate world is full of illusions. Like all illusions, they are ephemeral. Power, money, and in some cases even your relationships are not real. Don’t ever take the business card so seriously that it defines your entire identity and you feel helpless without it.

What matters is not what you expected from life, but what life expected from you. Stop asking about the meaning of life and instead, think of yourself as the one being questioned by life. Ultimately, you have the responsibility of finding the right answers to life’s problems.Life goes on and so are your fears!!
