Editor's Notes
- Just Imagine It’s Monday Morning You arrive at 6:30am to get a good start on your day. You are planning your day and feeling pretty solid. Saying, I own this day 8am and a few coworkers stroll in – brief pleasantries exchanged 8:15am email from CEO comes across stating the company has decided to layoff 6.5% of workforce You assume, obviously the folks who are getting let go would have been told before said email came across 8:30 Your boss shows up with a weird look on his face You know- his eyes are wateringWhat’s the first thing you do in that situation?
