Today is Monday; the beginning of the month.
You probably had a pretty good weekend.
Now imagine that you walked into the office and your boss called you in for a meeting.
From the look of things; this meeting can not possibly be good.
After a few reasons or attempt to justify his/her decision you are told that your services are no longer required by the company.
What would be your initial reaction?
Ok, what would be your next step after ranting or trying to justify your role?
Are you well equipped to move on with your career?
How marketable are you?
Have you positioned yourself well enough to be in demand in your respective sector?
Good questions that need to be answered well before such a meeting... Unfortunately many employees get to comfortable with their regular paycheck. It becomes an addiction which they cant live without.
ReplyDeleteFor such a person the meeting can be devastating.
Always know your talents and always seek growth no matter where you are in life.
I like to live by the boyscouts motto: "Be Prepared."
You are absolutely right about most employees - they get comfortable with the regular paycheck. Self development seems like a burden to them.
ReplyDeleteIn the US workers were encouraged to specialize, but I think being a jack-of-all-trades is not a bad idea.
It gives you options when your particular sector goes sour.
Being Prepared is key
