Got Laid Off? – Get Over It- Now!
Suffering After a Layoff
Taking that first step back toward control can be a very difficult one whether your confidence may be suffering after a layoff, restructuring or even while you are still employed, but worrying about your future security with your current company. Many great, productive and talented employees get laid off too. There’s the perception in our minds that once laid off, others may see us as the ‘bottom 10%’ (Thanks to Jack & GE). While continually cutting or replacing the bottom 10% may have real merits for a business’ performance (not to mention being a really great motivator for others in the company to work very, very hard), if we end up laid off, it can be a difficult blow to our ego and confidence.
Get over it. Period.
Of course, do a realistic self-assessment and correct and improve any areas that may need it, but great people do get laid off too, so put the guilt up an a shelf and out of your way.
