With recent, newly built scenarios in the job market owing to the effects of COVID-19, there has been turmoil in the employment scenario. With a lot of companies’ business and cash flows severely impacted, cost-cutting is on the rise – one major driving cost being the workforce.
There has been an unavoidable, but brutal slash in the workforce count in core industries. The situation began since the start of the lockdown in late March 2020; and continues to linger and no one is sure when this would end. Full-time employment options have taken a toll, with either scarce employment opportunities in the market or extended and non-structured work hours of the “Work From Home” lifestyle.
But this period also has been an opportunity to learn from a lot of life and professional lessons. Looking at the bigger picture on the canvas. Being independent, refraining from indulgence, self-awareness, fear, anxiety, and many other mixed emotions. Professionals understood that there is nothing called safe and secure long term job security anymore. Those who have secured one, have been extremely fortunate, but the anxiety and fear remain, of more stressed job expectations or the fear of losing what they currently have.
