KUALA LUMPUR: “Will go through retrenchment, again . Be strong,” wrote journalist Zulaikha Rahim on her Facebook status, recently.
Her message was short and terse but it spoke volumes of the feeling of gloom that enveloped her.
Up to June 2 this year, she considered herself as a member of the M40 (Middle 40 percent income) group but all that changed in a wink of an eye when her company retrenched her, along with other staff, to save costs.
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in March last year, this is the second time this 34-year-old mother-of-one is finding herself without a job. The first time was last year when she had to leave the company she worked for as she was not paid her salary for two months.
