Re: Good effects of Recession on Careers
Makes being 'let-go' not as hard to accept, nor as difficult to explain
Today, I spoke to someone who just got let go from their job with a radio station. He's not that upset about it. Why? He simply said, "My manager told me 20 other people on the team got let go too - and I was the most recent hire. So, I know it had nothing to do with my performance." Getting laid-off is mainstream. We all know one or more individuals who lost their job recently. Which means, those who get let go aren’t taking it as personally as they would if it happened in a good economy. Instead of feeling singled-out and wondering, "What’s wrong with me?" they are able to effectively rationalize the situation by saying, "I'm not the only one. This was out of my control."
There's no such thing as "i can't" there's only "i don't know how"...
