Good move to help, but it doesn't help the overall situation and what happened...goes to show we still need to express ourselves as humans and discuss and talk about issues with others...anyone in the same scenario would feel the same...we are still humans...technology and how the data streams across networks and creates financial decisions in a split second is still something we are working on to come of age and chances are we may never get there, and the wreckage of human lives as we know it today continues...everything is not preventable in life, but it appears the best we can do is educate ourselves on the items in life that have a direct effect on our everyday life...
More than ever there is a huge need to educate oneself...and it continues to rise...obviously we can't all retain everything in our human brain that we might have a need to be informed about, and this is where technology can help in being able to access the information where and when we need it...including the counselors...they may not have the solutions for everyone affected, but can surely offer an ear to listen...bottled up emotions are nothing new...there's just so much more of this to go around today...as life as we once knew it continues to change and the air of uncertainties continue to emerge and impact so many areas of our lives...BD
Facing the loss of their life savings and very possibly their jobs, employees at investment bank Bear Stearns are turning to trained professionals -- not for financial advice but for psychological counseling.The company, which collapsed suddenly last week when real estate clients withdrew $17 billion in two days, will provide psychological counselors, called employee assistance professionals, to help workers handle the news that their plans and perhaps their dreams have abruptly and dramatically changed.
Many of the company's employees could lose their jobs and all of them have seen the value of their stock holdings and options evaporate overnight. "People could be feeling extreme helplessness or hopelessness. It is not just the employee who might be worried or irritable, but his spouse or family as well," Maynard said.
