a sea of unfamiliar faces

for the first time in a very long time, going to work today was something i didn't look forward to. as part of our company's expansion program slash cost cutting scheme, almost half of the employees had to move to the alabang office in order to accommodate the new ones.

that being said, as i came to work this morning, instead of the usual warm and friendly atmosphere, i was welcomed by a sea of unfamiliar faces. the office was unusually quiet and the people i have grown to like and love over the last five years are gone.

it was like being new all over again and it sucks. change may be good but this one isn't. at least for me, it isn't. part of the reason why i love working is the people i work with. now that half of them are gone, going to work sorta sucks just a bit.

while it's true that making new friends may be easy and i'm sure the new ones are fine, it just isn't the same.
