How To Keep Your Job During A Recession


I’ll keep this short and sweet. Here are a few things you can do to keep your job during a recession:

  • Take Credit For Your Work. Claim what’s rightfully yours.
  • Don’t Ask For A Raise. In 2009 you’re probably not going to get a raise.
  • Ask How You Can Help. ?????? ????? ????

    You’re going to have to work harder for your money during this time, and if you do you will come out on top after this recession.

  • Be In Plain Sight. Get to work early, leave late. More importantly don’t make your boss have to look for you.
  • Suck Up. Talk to your boss and you’re bosses boss and their boss. The bottom line is, get to know your boss and try keep the conversation work related.
  • Stay On Top of Your Company. Make sure you know what/how your company is doing. This will help you make conversation with your boss and give you a warning if there are layoffs coming.
  • Don’t Gossip. Its pretty simple, don’t gossip because its probably going to end up biting you in the ass.
  • Come Up With New Ideas. Come up with new ideas on ways your company can make money or be more efficient. This is something you can use to talk to your boss.
  • Learn. ?????? ????? ????

    If you want to make it through this economic crisis you’re going have to be on point 100% of the time. Which means being update to date with the latest technologies, trends, and whatever other skills you use at work. So educate yourself.

  • Look At The Job Market.

    This your backup plan. You should be passively looking for jobs during this time so that way if you do get laid off you have a head start.

    I would add one more. Be careful of spelling and punctuation so that you clearly communicate on paper and electronically. New Idea’s is not possessive it should be New Ideas.

    Otherwise, the advice looks generally good.
