The recent dismissal nearly 2000 workers from Jet Airways is shocking. The reason being the way it was handled, there are some rules and norms to be followed I guess. To be told out of the blue that you are out of job can be very distressing, anyway it is not something rare, sensitivity has no space in profit driven world. This bloggers accepts the fact that employers are within their right to dismiss employees but there should be safeguards against arbitrary actions.
