How not to be fired? 9 tips in a crisis: Large and not very large companies are cutting
back on staff. The forest is cut, chips fly. The country is in
crisis, and we are suffering. Even if you have worked at your current
place of work for many years and occupy a good position - the risk of losing
your job now is higher than ever! What to do to avoid a sad fate? We
have prepared for you a list of 9 tips that will help you survive the Time of Troubles
and stay at your work. So, let's begin!
Tip 1 - Work More!
Yes,
oddly enough, but you have to work at work. The times of freebies and
viewing the Vkontakte tape are over. Now you need to mobilize all your
strength, grit your teeth and devote the maximum amount of time to
work. Perhaps even staying after work. The bosses will appreciate
this and you will be in a better position than your less working colleagues.
Tip 2 - Take Challenges to You
Take
on the solution of those tasks and problems that other employees cannot
do. So you will become a valuable employee that no one wants to
fire. Expand your comfort zone. It's time to get out of the quagmire
of office plankton and go to new heights!
Tip 3 - Be an Essential Worker
If
with your departure all the activities of the company are covered with a copper
basin - congratulations! You are an irreplaceable employee whom the
company just cannot afford to fire. Try to become such an employee who
does not have a replacement in your company, but remember that in order to
remain irreplaceable, you need to constantly improve your qualifications and
level of competence.
Tip 4 - Befriend Friends
Maybe
your boss is not a cutie, and you would love to tell him everything you think
about him, but do not forget that there is a crisis in the yard. And it's
better to find a common language with the current bosses than to be on the
street. Find common ground, and best of all, if your relationship becomes
more friendly and informal thanks to common interests that you suddenly
discover =)
Tip 5 - Forget About the Smoking Rooms
If
you do not want to be fired, avoid visiting smoking rooms and other places
where the office plankton spends time waiting for the end of the working
day. Stand out for the better, create the image of a responsible and
disciplined employee who is busy at work and does not stand near the office
with a coffee mug and a cigarette in his mouth, discussing fresh gossip with
the same negligent colleagues.
Tip 6 - Learn, study and study again
In
the modern world, everything is changing so rapidly that no education system
can prepare a specialist who will be ready to solve all problems. A true
professional is one who continues to learn and gain new knowledge in a changing
reality. Read books on your topic, go to seminars, participate in
conferences and exhibitions. A specialist who is “in trend” and
understands current trends will be appreciated in any company.
Tip 7 - No scandals, intrigues or investigations
Try
to keep friendly with all your work colleagues. In no case do not engage
in intrigues against anyone and do not join the office "clans", no
matter how much you are invited there.
Tip 8 - Appearance - 50% Success
“If
you want to go up the career ladder - dress as if you are already there” - the
quote is very true. Watch your appearance, because the way a person looks,
largely determines the opinion of others about him.
Tip 9 - Save Money
Whatever
your belief that you will not be fired, you still need to be prepared for the
worst case scenario. Start saving money so that in case of dismissal you
have a financial airbag for the period while you are looking for a new
job. Ideally, you should always have a sum equal to your average earnings
for 3-6 months. This will allow you to most comfortably and calmly survive
the difficult period after leaving.
We
hope that you will use all our tips and not only not be fired, but also get a
promotion and a solid increase in salary! If you are still fired, don’t be
upset, the crisis is a time of opportunities, maybe you can find your dream job
in this difficult period. Or maybe it's time to open your own business,
which you have long dreamed of?
