Top 10 Reasons You May Get Fired
Getting fired is never fun, and because of this people do not like to think of what may happen. However, planning for your potential layoff is a good idea as it will help you move on faster. In addition, listing possible reasons for why you would get fired can prepare you well in advance and allow you to see the impending signs of termination. Change can be a hardship unless planning turns it into an opportunity. All you need is a strategy. Or five of them! A new e-book offers help. It?s called Fire Proof Your Career: Be Eager To Stay and Prepared To Go.
This e-book is practical because it is based on a survey of more than 200 people who had been laid off. Authors Anne Baber and Lynne Waymon asked "What do you wish you had done before you got laid off"? The responses fell into five categories, so Baber and Waymon devised five strategies to prepare people to be eager to stay AND prepared to go. The strategies guide workers in all fields through step-by-step processes to become ?psychologically? self-employed, learn with the next job interview in mind, Make a financial plan that supports them instead of traps them, develop multiple options for future careers, and finally take time to build a safety network.
Fire Proof Your Career also offers you the top ten disasters that could happen to you and your job. These top ten all involve what could potentially happen to the company you work for. It is important to keep these things in mind because they may help you foresee the possibility of a firing. Your company could ?out-source? your department overseas, get new managers in a ?hostile take-over?, merge with a competitor, buy more productive technology or hire contractors, all of which could eliminate your job.
Other potential "company disaster" could be that your company would decide to side-track your boss, change its product line, down-size, consolidate its operations or finally your company could go bankrupt through bad management decisions and eliminate all jobs.
