This is the worst crisis i've seen and experienced. Today I was reading a newspaper article about ANZ cutting another 400 staff. In the past 2 weeks, I've seen 4 people in my team get made redundant. Senior to middle management level. 4 very extrememly hard working and loyal staff. Staff who has put their whole hearts into their jobs. Made sacrafices with their families for their jobs. Ones that have been with the bank for 20 or so years.
A good friend of mine in Private Bank have also been asked to leave in a very harsh and mean way. Another 3 people from Business Bank, who I speak to on a day to day basis, whether it's just a greeting when we're walking past each other, or bumping into each other in the kitchen, or just sitting around talking about our weekends.
In the past 5 months I've been at ANZ, I've met alot of very nice collegues. Collegues who I would like going to work to, seeing and chatting to. Smart, talented, cheerful and ones not afraid to share their successes and experiences. People who I can call "Quality". People who knows the ins and outs of the bank. People who are just one phone call away and can answer any questions I have within 5 seconds. It's very sad to hear that they need to leave. Seeing them in tears and packing their personal belongings and having work related items sent back into Martin Place through internal mail is a very heartbreaking experience.
I was told my position was safe, but I am curious. With certain merges that are happening within Business Bank, I'm curious as to how safe my job is. I guess I just need to keep my head down and just keep working.
Revolves around a sparkling world of small to big things that happen and love sharing the way I think with the people who are in my life. I believe laughter and eating yummy desserts is the best tool for stress relief.
