No branded post from me today.
Just this 🌶️ 👇🏼
(After another dear friend was laid off)
If your company does a round of layoffs
And your job is deemed safe
Start logging
Now
____________________
Log what?
>> wins
>> metrics
>> contacts

Start logging
*before*
👉🏼 you finish that next project
*before*
👉🏼 you respond to those *highly urgent email requests*
*before*
👉🏼 you forget (and have to deal with the emotions of the layoff that will prevent you from remembering some things anyway)
BEFORE
you do anything AT ALL that wouldn’t matter a hill of beans if you didn’t work there tomorrow
…because you might not
…and they WILL turn your computer off
…and by then, you won’t have the chance
________________________
And you still have to put food on your table.

So today, I give you permission
To call in sick
Or start your day at 5am
Maybe skip the team drinks
…so that you can take care of you.
And if a 3rd party consultant has come in to “refine operations and realign the business” — today would be a great day for a head cold.
Xo,
Claire
