Are you afraid of losing your job?

The bleak economic outlook has prompted many business leaders not only to reduce their employees’ salaries, but also to ruthlessly lay off employees. As a result, even some senior personnel have lost confidence in their indispensability. Parasitism has also added fuel to the general nervousness… Now some people begin to smile more at their superiors, some begin to perform their duties more enthusiastically, and some simply resign and wait for their turn. We took to the streets of Gomel and asked people to confess: are they afraid of losing their jobs? Write your thoughts on this in the comments.

Mikhail, locomotive driver:

— I really don’t want to lose my job. You see, I have two daughters and they need help. I really hope they don’t need me to do anything.

Mikhail, controller of the pretrial detention center:

– Let’s put it this way, considering what has happened recently, I don’t want to lose. I like my job. The team is great, there is a 13th salary and many other pleasant bonuses, so, of course, I really don’t want to lose all this.

Anna, street cleaner:

– Not afraid. I’m a pensioner. If I get fired, I’ll stay at home. So it’s time to rest. I’m 60 years old. She has 33 years of experience and has worked as a pastry chef at BelGUT all her life.

Marina, hairdresser:

– No, my husband makes good money.

Viktor Mikhailovich, Director of the Gomel Regional Olympic Equestrian Reserve Center:

– I’m not afraid, but I don’t want to. Nevertheless, I think I’ll find a use for myself. Eventually, from the position of director I can go all the way to teaching.

Nicholas, the Builder:

– Currently- Yes, I am worried.

Yulia, Hippo Sales:

“I’m a good worker, and people like that don’t get fired.”

Tatiana, the kindergarten sports director:

– Now, maybe. Because if something goes wrong, it will be a problem to find a job. Friendly team, understanding management and good working conditions are rare. I don’t want to lose such a job.

Andre, railway worker:

– No, I’m not afraid. Maybe even somewhere deep in my soul I dream. Probably because I have an additional income, which, unlike the main income, brings more money and happiness. I participate in organizing special events.

Angelina:

– No, because I’m going to find a new job.

Artem, private entrepreneur:

– I’m not afraid of losing my job. Because I know my coffee shop will not close, and if there is a problem, I will definitely come up with something new.

Hayk, road construction worker:

– Scared. I love my job, I love building roads. Of course, I don’t want to lose my favorite activity.
