Wave of layoffsIt's a word that makes people panic, doesn't it?It was like ice on the riverside in the spring, the pieces began to melt, and the last one was gone. When you stand on the shore, you feel that the ice under your feet is quite thick, but if you are not careful, you may fall into the water. As soon as the market fluctuates, the boss is nervous, and he will cut it. Sometimes, even the big companies can't stop this momentum, let alone us ordinary workers.
Watching the colleagues around you pack up their things and leave one by one, that mood is like the last fish in the vegetable market being picked away, you know that you may become the next one at any time. This layoff turmoil, like a sudden cold wave, indiscriminately forced a bunch of people into a corner.
Speaking of which, this wave of layoffs is not without traces. At the end of each year, there is a lot of news about layoffs, like the north wind in winter, cold and biting. In this case, we, ordinary people, must be prepared and have a few hands to prepare.
Prepare first-hand, just take a look at the excitement of different fields. Yes, the world is so big, it's not just your little yard. Some industries may be at dusk and the sun is setting, while others are like dawn and the sun is shining. The current world is changing as fast as the weather forecast says it will be sunny and cloudy. You can't keep a point and find out where the sun is setting and where the light is emerging. Dig into it and find a few more paths for yourself. Ph.D. students, you say?Even if the top of the head is shining with gold and the wrong industry, the wallet is still deflated. So, it's always right to keep your eyes open, understand more, think more, and leave yourself a few back doors.
Second-hand preparationWhen we can save money, we have to save hard. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, this is not anything else, but we should be prepared for rainy days. Is it easy for silver to come by?Not easy. Save it, and when disaster strikes every day, this money can still support you. Saving money is especially important. You see that the people who have saved a lot, even if they are laid off, they can leave in a chic manner, calmly and calmly. Those moonlight clans, as soon as the word layoffs came out, the whole person was not good. Therefore, earn money, don't just spend, you have to save, and you will have confidence in the future.
Third-hand preparation, you have to travel lightly, don't let yourself be saddled with a mountain of debt. In the past two years, I have often heard a word - leverage. At first glance, it sounds quite domineering, but it is actually debt. We have to ask ourselves, why are people in the city so anxious?It's nothing more than because there is too much debt, especially the mortgage. When you make money, you can still pay the mortgage;If you can't earn it, it will be miserable. Therefore, if you don't owe money, don't owe it, in case the wave of layoffs really comes, at least we can leave calmly and not be overwhelmed.
Fourth-hand preparation, you have to think about the problem the other way around. The rumors of layoffs have not subsided, and they have risen again and again. Executives and middle-level executives can't keep their jobs, let alone ordinary employees. Anxiety seems to have become the main theme of the general environment. But we have to do the opposite, when everyone is anxious, we have to be calm and composed. When the involution is so powerful, we have to choose the right path and move forward steadily. Remember, there's no point in being anxious about others. From a different perspective, think about where your strengths are and how you can find a way out.
Fifth-hand preparation, that is, to tone down desire. Ah, in this money society, everyone wants to get rich, but what if they can't get rich?Surfing the Internet all day long, seeing other people's annual salaries of millions, my heart is sour. But think about it, what is other people's business for you?How much silver, how many days. Don't compare yourself with others, the most important thing is to live happily yourself. The more you have unlimited desires, the more you will lose in the end, sort out your mentality and live in the moment, that is the king.
In the face of the wave of layoffs, what should we ordinary people do?The twists and turns of life are not so scary, as long as you are prepared, you can always find a way to get through it. Here are a few tips that might give you a hint of warmth in the cold of winter.
Intelligence gathering and insight into industry trends. It's like sailing, you have to know when there's going to be a storm. Keep an eye on workplace information and industry trends so you don't get caught off guard. Now that information is so developed, read more professional reports, visit industry forums, and keep up with the rhythm.
Career planning, do not miss any opportunities. Prepare a plan B and keep improving yourself when your job is stable. No matter how stable your job is, it is possible that it will be unstable due to market turmoil. So, work and learn at the same time, stay competitive, and always be sensitive to new opportunities.
Consumption is sensible, saving is king. The wallet is bulging, and the heart is not panicking. It's time to save a little, save a little urgent**, don't wait until you really need it. It is also important to manage your finances, be cautious in your investments and don't put your eggs in the same basket.
Debt planning, travel light. Too much debt and a lot of stress. Avoid usury and consumer loans as much as possible, and spend money on the knife. If you have the means to spare, try to repay the high-interest loan to reduce the burden.
Adjust your mindset and look forward positively. Layoffs are scary, but don't let panic take over you. Stay optimistic and believe that you are capable of facing challenges. It's good to vent stress once in a while, talk to friends, do some exercise, and maintain a good attitude.
Skill upgrading, strengthen the market value of the self. In an ever-changing market, those who can constantly renew themselves are the most valuable. Is it possible to transform, or to add a skill?Imagine if you lost your job today, would you be able to find a new way out tomorrow
Networking, resource sharing. There are more friends, and the road is easier to walk. Nowadays, social networking is not only for socializing, but also for the exchange of resources and information. Communicate more with people in the industry and build your own network bridges, which may come in handy one day.
Control your desires and live in the moment. It's not that you don't have dreams, but dreams should be based on reality. Compared to those unattainable luxury life, you might as well appreciate the small beauty around you. Being content with the status quo does not mean that there is no pursuit, but knowing how to be happy and live simply.
The wave of layoffs is terrifying, but as long as we deal with it wisely, we can find a way to survive the winter. Prevent and respond calmly, and even if the wave of layoffs does come, we can rise to the challenge and find new opportunities.
Well, that's all I have to suggest. In fact, change our thinking and actively prepare, even if the wave of layoffs really comes, we can also have a target and be fearless of the cold winter. Remember, there is always an opportunity in a crisis, and the key depends on how we find it and how we use it. Come on, everyone!
