How could they do this to me ?

Recession !!! what an excuse to fire someone even if the company is not going through any recession !!
I am a victim of such an incident. For the past five years I have been working with this company, gave my heart and soul and worked smartly, didnt even think about the late working hours or the weekend, worked whenever it was required... and today, the management decided to get rid of me for no reason. Well... i know the reason and i spelt it out to them when i was given this news.. but as usual.. the top management will never agree to something that is not in their favor.
And how I wished... i had a Godfather in the company who could have saved my job and would not let me go. This has made me realised that i should not have worked extra hours unless I am going to get paid for that AND i should have worked on making one of the management guys as my pal.. so that i cud have stayed here little longer.

All those.. who work with a small company which is growing, make sure you have a Godfather in the company to save your job.. till this recession is over.
