Indisposable

There was one more person added into the retrenchment list yesterday. She is our procurement lady, who just came in for less than half a year.

She will leave when Ms. Azreal comes back from maternity leave. This procurement lady is also pregnant, and will due when Ms. Azreal comes back. I wonder if the company actually compensate her maternity in this case.

The past two days have been extremely quiet in the office, my mailbox too has been pretty empty. One of the reason is because of the retrenchment atmosphere, the other one is because the Singapore regional office and the distributor there were busy preparing for this VP's arrival (he went down to Singapore with our MD, after visiting our office).

Though most of the issues I solved since transferred to project department, has been contributed by our Singapore distributor. I have not realised that it was 95% from them... lousy distributor! But then again, they managed to buy our VP and MD's hearts so well, that they gainned an indisposable position in their hearts. I wonder how they do it.

Ok, back to the topic. This retrenchment has made me think, those who remain in this company, in a way, survived. I wonder how can one become indisposable, in order to survive all the way? Is there such possibility?

I see some people in the office are well exposed, specialised and very experienced -- this kind of people will not be retrenched easily.
Some people are good in playing politics, and didn't do much work but takes all the credits -- this kind of people too, usually gets the heart of the high management, and not easily being disposed.
Some people are saviour to those dung beatles (always bring more shytes), this kind of people will not be disposed.
Some people are holding the crucial positions, they will not be disposed either...

I am inexperienced, not well exposed, do not know how to play politics, sits in low position, and often dig out people's crap that have been covered for too long.

I need to think of a way to improve myself, in order to become one of those indisposable person in any company.
