Recession has turned the job market upside down, and employers are making most of it. Be it in the name of cost cutting or organization restructuring, employees are being sacked and sent on forced leave recklessly, rendering them clueless. And the system appears more to be a human juicer squeezing all fitness from the dependents. In such a case government's concern for the unemployed is questionable.

You sack and I hire the same employee at much less salary. Where on one side the companies are hastily sacking its employees, on the other side the same companies are posting newer vacancies for the same profiles. Too many fish in the job sea and it is a perfect catch. Baffled employee is left with no option but to accept whatever is offered.
Convincing and gold polished empty words work no more. When the time has come system is a butcher shop with absolutely no place for values and emotions. And the worst part is that all of it seems to go so smooth. Another silk cover on bleeding wounds and we wait until it turns into gangrene.

This article is yet to complete as we wait for a brighter sun to shine: Wait for ethics to revive and, systems to become responsible enough not only for themselves but also for the masses surrounding them.
