Sad
It's sad that European has gone down. The higher management really did not appreciate how hard the staff tried to work to keep everything running smothly. When people didn't get paid months ago the poor people in HR had to sit there for hours on end stuffing envelopes and working their guts out because of errors higher up in the company.
I feel so sorry for all the cabin crew who had a letter send to them telling them they had no job.
I used to work there and you were told if something needed doing you would basically have to stay until it was done. The staff really worked well together and got through these troubles, but there is only so much you can take. I remember the cigar smoke drifting downstairs from the "fat cats" meetings. Luckily I found another job and saw light at the end of the tunnel.
I hope everyone who lost their jobs manages to find a good job where you are treated with the respect and recognition you deserve. You are better off out of there!
