^^^Inflation^^^
With the US subprime and oil price hike, the future looks bleak, especially everything that you buy cost more than they used to be. Along with that, share markets around the world are buoyant, and Malaysia politics faces unprecedented uncertainty and instability. And for recruitment/executive search companies, you can see and feel the downturn, and heard about news of headcount being frozen/ retrenchment.
Today, over the radio, there was a talk about this situation. Some people feel helpless about it, while the rest get out from the helplessness, to strategies: find ways to cut down/off expenses; find ways to increase existing pool of income.
Recently, I started this drive of RM5 lunch everyday in my office, ie everyone target to spend max RM5 over lunch. Well, so far, not too bad. Of course, some of the days, we burst the budget. :) But, I think, it's a good way to start. :)
