Getting Laid Off - Finances Rule (Hall of Fame Guidance)
This cast reveals the most important concept a laid off professional must know: Finances Rule. Most of us fear being laid off. It's a good fear to have, frankly - being laid off is a difficult passage for anyone. The fear of being re-employed, the fear of loss of status, the loss of income, and risk to one's family are all good reasons to be scared. And yet, those who have been laid off express very different emotions than those of us who have not. And when those who have been laid off are asked about it, it becomes clear why. It's not JUST that they've "been through it once and made it." It's what they say next: "I'm ready for the next time." And that's why you're scared: you're not ready.
