JUST LAST MONTH… HE WAS HANDED THE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH CERTIFICATE AND $100 CHECK…..
SAME DATE , SAME DAY A MONTH LATER …HE GOT A FATTER CHECK.. BUT IT WAS ALSO THE HIS LAST ONE WRAPPED IN A PINK SLIP.
DAVID DIDNOT KNOW WHAT HIT HIM, HOW AND WHERE DID HE GO WRONG.
He was smart punctual, honest and hardworking. He had all that was required to fulfil his role . Yet he was in the first group of people fired.
Each year a million people get the PINK SLIP in North America ALONE. Many see it coming for obvious reasons.
TEN THINGS YOU MUST CONSIDER WHEN YOU GET FIRED OR LOSE A JOB.
1. IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE ANYTIME
2. IT COULD HAPPEN EVEN IF YOU DONT DESERVE IT..DONT DWELL ON IT
3. REVIEW YOUR RIGHTS . TAKE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE AND IF YOU FIND GAPS FIGHT POSITIVELY
4. TAKE A STOCK OF YOUR PERSONAL INVENTORY. EACH ASSET SHOULD BE EVALUATED. EACH PENNY LOCATED AND EACH FORGOTTEN LOAN RECOVERED
5. EVALUATE YOUR LOANS AND REACH OUT TO YOUR BANKER OR CREDIT CARD COMPANY BEFORE THEY START HUNTING YOU. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT YOU SHALL BE ABLE TO STRIKE A FAVORABLE DEAL.
6. REHEARSE HONEST ANSWER TO THE FUTURE EMPLOYERS FAV QUESTION”WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR LEAVING THE LAST JOB”.
7. VOLUNTEER INFORMATION DURING PERSONAL INTERVIEW AND QUICKLY MOVE ON FORWARD.
8. STAY FOCUSSED ON CURRENT SITUATION. DONT BECOME A COUCH POTATO.LESSER TV MORE OF ONLINE JOB SEARCHING. ACTIVATE YOUR PEOPLE NETWORKS AND DONT BE SHY TO ASK FOR HELP.
9. STAY SHARP AND FOCUSSED. TAKE FREQUENT POSITIVE BREAKS. MAINTAIN YOUR PERSONAL HYGEINE, SHAVE AND BE APPROPRIATELY DRESSED. MOSTLY “ITS ALL IN THE MIND”
10.LASTLY NO PERSONAL GRUDGES, NO FORMER BOSS/MANAGER BITCHING, POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND NO SELF PITY.
ALWAYS REMEMBER
Failure is an event, never a person. ~William D. Brown, Welcome Stress
Pink slip refers to the American practice, by a personnel department, of including a discharge notice (printed on pink paper) in an employee’s pay envelope to notify the worker of his or her termination of employment or layoff.[1] According to an article in The New York Times, the editors of the Random House Dictionary dated the term to at least 1910.[1] Originally the color of the paper had no particular significance. In the UK and Ireland the equivalent of a pink slip is a P45, in Belgium the equivalent is known as a C4

If i get fired i will figure out my next step. I don’t feel compelled to jump right back into the workforce. When i am ready, i will keep my options open. I will eat well and go to the gym. The better i feel, the more positive energy i will have for my job search. I am excited to be back in the job market because it’s given me a chance to go after a job that I love,” sounds a lot better than, Optimists fare better in tough times, so i will keep my outlook strong.
