The Job losses

With so many jobs being lost so far this year including jobs around the world and jobs in this country, jobs in your street and perhaps jobs in your family and household and we are only 4 weeks in.

So many people are desperately struggling to save their job while others are going through emotional turmoil, financial distress, breaking relationships and staring at a bleak future trying to get a new job.

It's the P45 form in the UK and the "Pink Slip" as it’s known in some other countries is being issued faster than anyone could ever imagine and so many jobs are disappearing fast.

Many people will just weather the storm, others will emerge from this recession stronger and evolved and others will survive and thrive but many will not.

If it’s going to happen, then it’s going to happen and you might as well accept it gracefully. The boss doesn’t really want to fire anyone, it’s usually a case of being forced to make people in the workforce redundant or the whole organisation will go under. Sometimes the business owner, whilst trying to survive in a recession will not be drastic enough when it comes to letting people go but when recession hits, employees always feel that they are being hit the hardest. They often have the impression that businesses feel that employees are a resource that can be dispensed with in times of crisis.

Whatever you do, do not fall out with the boss over it.... do not make an enemy ....you may need a reference from the guy in the future or when we come out of this recession you just might be offered your old job back again.

If you are loosing your job (or never had one to loose in the first place) You must move on from a position of disbelief to one of acceptance and this can help to reconcile you to what is happening. This is the hardest step and one that is so important to handling the drastic change that is unemployment.

There must be a change of mental attitude, you will slide into a discomfort zone but you must move into a new zone of comfort, a ‘can do’ attitude. It isn’t you or your performance in your job that has caused you this problem, it is global, it is national, it is regional. The problem isn’t you but the problem is affecting you.

You may well feel the need for a little help and Working and Employment in the UK may be just what you need and although this Ebook is aimed primarily at people coming to get work in the UK from overseas, the principles that it contains will help you as well, no matter what country you live in. Click the link and take a look. Nothing lost and everything to gain.

Losing your job will thrust you into a zone of fear, change and perceived discomfort. A baby is reluctant to stand upright and leave its comfort zone because of the pain, sacrifice and effort involved. However, due to compulsions and limited options there comes a point when the baby stretches to stand up right and with every successive effort the confidence grows and grows, leading to independence and walking.

The key to dealing with the fear of failure is taking one small step into that zone of discomfort and gradually building your new comfort zone. You can recover and you can recover well, be better, be stronger.

I think it was Henry Ford that said…

‘If you think you can …. and if you think you can’t ……… your right’.
