How to find your peace - when in strife (at work)

How to find your peace - when in strife (at work)

Am writing this as I was inspired by a fellow colleague who just got laid off. As would be the correct thing to do - either offer a Performance Improvement Plan or an option to transfer out of the team. Neither were given to her.

Here is what I felt we all all should look at, to prep for such events:

1. Plan B within the firm - Build networks, volunteer and certify yourself in another area of expertise.
2. Plan B outside the firm - Stay connected via industry updates, bloggers and external certifications in your and/or another area of expertise

Hate it as much as you will, in times where managers dont necessarily care about the moral compass and the "right" thing to do, we must not indulge in "self doubt".

Am proud of my ex colleague for having weathered the exit exceptionally well and despite not having these in place - is looking on chin up.

Pls add on things that you feel should be a prep plan/ support on next steps... if ever such an event befalls...
