One of our new recruitment start-ups had missed a few training sessions on Zoom, so I reached out to her to see if everything was okay. She said there was talk going around at work that the company was looking to downsize, and she was just keeping her head down so it would not be her. Things were chaotic. There's no doubt about it; most companies these days are find staying afloat quite a
challenge... But this is a time to neither panic nor shrink back from what needs to be done... Or to put your trust in an organisation or individual that can get rid of you at the drop of a hat! See, panic
won't help and will only hinder. But… … complacency and inaction won't see you faring any better. So now is a time to keep a cool head AND your nerves. You have two choices and one decision to make. - Do nothing.
- Take steps to mitigate your circumstances.
If you do nothing and you live to survive another day... ...you'll be no better off than you are now... If you do nothing and it gets worse... you'll be FAR worse off than you are now. If you take steps to mitigate your circumstances and fight on... you've lost nothing. If you take steps to mitigate your circumstances, and it gets worse... ....you'll be FAR better off than those who are waiting for someone to come and determine what their future will be… It's your choice, of course, and you're free to
make any decision you like. But you're not free to avoid the consequences of your choices. Every choice you make is creating your future, so choose wisely. |
