Fallback Position


Globalization & Technology Lead to Uncertainty in the Job Market

Things have changed in the job market. Things continue to change. And the rate of change is quickening. Unless you’re aware and prepare, these changes can catch you by surprise and be devastating to you. That’s why I wrote Fallback Position. I’d seen too many people laid off or fired unexpectedly and being unprepared were devastated emotionally and financially. Does that sound familiar?

It’s a Matter of Survival.

When push comes to shove, when it’s a matter of survival, the friend who hired or supervises you will think of his or her career, reputation, and the organization before thinking of you. If any of those are perceived by the boss to be better off by cutting you loose, by whatever euphemism, then you’re toast. That’s a reality in today’s volatile work environment. And that’s why everyone needs to know how to prepare so they prosper through change.
