Youll Never Get Laid Off If You Work For The Right Company

Youll Never Get Laid Off If You Work For The Right Company Last week I got a chat from David Dalka who sent me a link to a Washington company with a very sad story.   You can read it here, but before you do, youll either want to clutch your resume, or grab a box of Kleenex.   Can you imagine working at a startup with a few dozen other professionals, getting excited about funding and company progress, and then finding out the bosses are going to prison? I swear to you, if you think your job is safe, IT ISNT.   Hold on for a second while I  go up on my roof and shout YOUR JOB IS NOT SAFE!! The economy could tank. Your CEO could be doing illegal stuff. Someone could be jockying for your job, right now, as you are reading this email. Your biggest customer could end the contract (this happened to my last company, and they lost almost 1/2 of their revenue overnight). Your spouse or loved-one could have an out-of-state emergency and youll have to move and start over. (Fill in the blank: __________________________________________) There are SO MANY reasons that you could get terminated.   Pick  one.   About my title, never getting laid off if you work for the right company, I am not sure that right company exists. I hope you are doing something as CEO of Me, Inc.   You are, arent you?   For starters you should sign up for the JibberJobber One Thing email. Its free and its something to do for your career right now.
