I figgered I was dead in the Corporate World when my job wasn’t listed on the newly released organization chart. (You know, the chart with the pyramid of boxes.)
Shit, my whole department was missing from the damn chart.
I knew I was a goner. We were ALL goners.
Que sera, sera.
That’s how secure your job is.
It ain’t, no matter what you wanna think.
Layoffs are always just around the corner, especially in this economy. And especially with robo-workers displacing folks right and left.
Here are some signs you’re about to get the ol’ heave-ho…
— Your biggest project each day occurs at the photocopying machine.
— Your boss always ducks into the restroom when he sees you coming.
— The Little Fish Company you work for has been swallowed by the Big Shark Company.
— The bastards have asked you to update your job description. (They’re looking to make cuts, pal.)
Nasty stuff, right?
But hey, if you stay awake and watch for a warning signal or two, you won’t be taken by surprise.
Better yet, if you’ve built a second income in the meantime, you won’t go into a tailspin when the ax falls. (And it’ll probably fall sooner rather than later.)
By the way, building a second income doesn’t have to be THAT hard.
