Employers – make sure you review your layoff lists carefully to make sure rogue managers aren’t using this as a way to discriminate or retaliate. A layoff isn’t bullet proof.
Employees – don’t overspend and if you think there is a potential for future layoffs that include you, don’t be discouraged, now is a good time to connect with friends and get your resume out there before the holiday chill on hiring. If you’ve been laid off and suspect it is a cover for discrimination or retaliation, seek legal advice. I heard today an employee was told his non-disclosure agreement meant he couldn’t speak with an attorney. An NDA can’t be used to hide illegal activity.
Early ocean beach run that was so slow my dog ran rings around me.
