[SINGAPORE] Jetstar Asia employees were only informed of their retrenchment at 7 am on Wednesday (Jun 11) – the same morning the public announcement went out.
“It was unexpected – all my managers were also in shock, and they didn’t see it coming,” said a cabin crew member, who declined to be named.
“Dropping the bomb suddenly – it’s kind of ridiculous and frustrating for us. I was awake from 7 am till now, still trying to process what happened. It’s a bit unfair.”
