Blog Post: TIPS TO AVOID THE LAYOFF


posted Friday, February 6, 2009 2:28 PM

 I just wanted to rattle off a few tips if you are worried about an impending layoff.  Some of these habits could land you at the top of the list.

1- don’t surf the Internet at work or use your cell phone to text

2- don’t be absent unless you absolutely have to...that means vacations too! Out of site, out of mind.

3-Not busy? Ask for more work

4-Please do not 'brown nose' the boss

5-Find ways to reduce costs for the company..even if they are small

6-Paste a  smile on your face even if it kills you

7- Avoid the negative people that hang out in the break room or lunch room

Before you get laid off, develop a battle plan for what you will do after.  Join networking groups like: Linked in, Face book, Toastmasters, etc.  Get networking contacts from friends and family.   Remember that  'chance favors the prepared mind."  I heard that in a Steven Seagal movie.
