You are being laid off

in life

I watched Up in the Air last night. It was brilliant  but I am not going to write about the movie, except for aku tak pernah suka hero tua because old hero turn me off tapi George Clooney adalah exceptional. Sungguh berkarismaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Anyway.

While trying to sleep I was thinking about the movie. Katalah aku berkerja kan dan diberhentikan secara tiba-tiba, will I get piss? They are two answers.

I will get extremely piss if I know I have given my best and people also know the fact that I am doing a good job. Dan tiba-tiba aku kene fired. Especially scumbags yang makan gaji buta still have their jobs.

But I won’t get piss kalau aku sendiri tahu aku tak boleh perform, memang bengap tak reti buat kerja. Itu kalau orang nak sack aku tak boleh buat apalah.

Watching that movie made me scared, ramai yang kene fired in the movie cried thinking of their commitments – family, kids, house loan, car loan which is normal. It made me rethink of all the thing that I want. I mean let say I buy a posh car a nice house and suddenly this thing hit me, what the fuck am I supposed to do then?

Itu satu, satu lagi this movie reminded of something that my ex-boss said

“A job is just a job, the worst thing that could happen is you get fired but family and life are another different thing that cannot be compromised”

Which is true , I have met many people who put their work as their priority rather than family/life. Tiap-taip hari pergi kerja, balik lambat, weekends pon kerja, festive season pon kerja.

Yes money is important, I agree but I there are other things that are more important. Yet sadly, how many of us realised that?

If you don’t get what I mean or perhaps have a different opinion, try to watch this movie. Aku macam tersentak and macam biasa termenangis. Heh.

    A job is just a job. It pays your bills, gives you food, clothes and a place to sleep. (also can give you material things). It's important but not more important that your personal life, which includes families and loved ones.

    Honestly, I can only say this after migrating to this part of the world, when I was in Malaysia, I was also stuck in the vicious cycle. It's either you join the rat race or you just be left behind. Tough choices, sacrifices to be made.

    But what most people forget is, with jobs, you are replaceable. No matter how good you think you are at what you do, you ARE replaceable. Period. Personal life on the other hand is irreplaceable, each moment passed is each moment lost. You can always get a new job for your material needs but you can never get back the lost moments.

    i love the movie too.
    n yes adalah berasa sedih jugak bile tgk part2 org kena fired tu semua.
    n about relationship n all.
    tp i think his talk about the luggage, back pack ke apa tu macam betul.
    if kumpul2 semua tu akan rasa berat.
    so buat apa memberatkan bahu tanggung tu semua.
    ok aku mmg hampeh x suke commitment semua. sbb tu aku macam sokong dia. :mrgreen:

    tp kesian tgk lelaki2 tu semua kan.
    i mean like u said. kalau la tiba2 kena fired macam mana nak tanggung semua tu.
    if muda takpa la. boleh try carik kerja lain.
    what if dah tua2. macam mana kan. orang pun taknak hire.
    ish..tiba2 aku jiwa kacau teringat cerita ni.
    tapi it is indeed a great movie la.
