Credit crunch-induced thoughts

Working for a bank – an international bank – I couldn’t help but feel paranoid about the global financial crisis or how large to an extent this would affect the business. Not that we are feeling the impact of the credit crunch already or sensing that the company is not in good shape. Thank God we still remain resilient amid continuous reports of other bank’s bankruptcies and mergers and government interventions through increasing their stakes in these banks. I am just thankful now that the company I’ve chosen to work for has been weathering the storm quite well. That’s why my plans of seeking greener pastures have been set aside for a while. Never mind the loads of projects. Never mind the reasonable length of overtime but paid work. I am just thankful that right now I’ve still got something stable to rely on.  (Though Lehman brothers had been in the business for more or less a century and yet look at where they are now.. hmmm)
