Distrait

I thought I'm going to hear some bad news from the company as I come to work this day. We've been hearing rumors that our company sold our call center to another international company that provides inbound/outbound services including sales, support, and marketing.

Last week, I got the chance to talk to one of our company drivers. He told me that HR talked to some support group staffs, including company drivers, if they would be willing to be trained as consultants (agents). Three among the 4 drivers, a finance department staff, a training department staff, and some administrative assistants “volunteered” for the training, according to him. I’m not sure if they really volunteered for the said training but I’m so certain that there is something going on there. The first thing that instantly came to my mind was that, HR will not do this for no apparent reason. My focus was distrait at that very moment. For the past few weeks that I’ve been hearing the rumors and ignoring it, but now the tale is getting clearer to me.

Today is Wednesday, August 29 - the day everyone is most likely anticipating because according to the speculations, this is the day that the company will announce the said news. However as I badge in, I went straight to the production floor and notice everything seems normal. I started looking at people’s faces and they don’t seem to look sad or disappointed at anything. I met a friend inside the CR and softly asked him, did they announce it? How are we doing? He gently smiled back to me and said, I haven’t heard anything the whole day. So I assumed maybe no announcement was made yet, or it’s not true. Or, perhaps they are going to announce it some other day. Whatever it is, I don’t know when that day will come, but for now life goes on. Anyway, it’s not going to be the end of everything. Who knows, God might have better plans for our life or for our job.

I hate feeling worried about things I can’t control. I normally leave these things to God. But let's face it! As human beings, we can’t help but feel anxious about things we are most concern of – one of them is our job. Job gives us financial security. Everybody needs it because we need money to raise our family. But in the end, I realize that everything I need will be supplied by no other than our Almighty Father. He is our great source of abundance. Therefore, no more worries…
