I remember that time, Joyce. So-called non-essential staff were laid off and then companies were hiring temps to do those jobs because it was more cost effective to the company. One of my friends who had done a lot in marketing a Big 4 firm in a new market got laid off but there, the local partners had a conscience and while they had to comply with high command located in USA, they rehired her on an assignment basis. My friend has gone on to do a lot of other things that she wouldn’t have and is a success but I remember those days when she’d be in the office till 11 pm slogging away while her husband waited in the office visitors room and then told she was laid off. Thank God for transferable skills.

Overnight, jobs were outsourced or made obsolete. When I was teaching, I would be working with students on their career choices. It came as a real shock when they learned that people in the workforce were already making at least 3 career changes over their lifetime. Actually, some of the numbers were as high as 11 career changes. We need to accept that economies worldwide will be radically changing and that we need to think about flexible skills and be open to new opportunities.

Accepting that change is inevitable enables us to plan for a better result and future, Suzie. If it makes us a better person, then change is the right catalyst!

I do relate though that change is something we all face – i have been through it big time this year and out of embracing change we can become so much better a person xx

I hear you, Marquita! I saw my Dad do the same at his job for 36 years but he enjoyed his work and did a lot to promote India and our culture, which became evident from the flood of condolence letters we received from around the world and the goodwill that he left behind for his family.

Having said that, some of us are free spirited and really can’t stay in 1 job forever unless it stimulates us. Some of us need change to thrive and if we have an entrepreneurial mindset, then that is a path to be explored.

Thanks for sharing your valuable insight and perspective.

Thanks for your wise insight, Stella. It’s our perspective about change that guides how we respond to it, especially for circumstances outside of our control. Have an awesome weekend too!

Change is unavoidable. we have to wait and see the changes are positive ones or negative ones in general.

We can’t control others or the events unfolded in front of us, but the only thing we can control are ourselves. You are so right on that.

Have a lovely weekend!

My father worked for the same company 45 years and it sucked the very life out of him. Oh, he had security, vacation, health benefits, etc., but he lost himself in the process doing the same thing day after day. I swore I’d never follow that path, and haven’t so I’ve never experienced the stress of job insecurity. There is no question it’s not a path for everyone, you have to have unwavering belief that no matter what challenges life may throw your way, you will be okay. But I think that’s where my lifelong passion for developing resilience prepared me for the journey.

It’s the mindset that makes the best results in a situation happen, Reba. You are so correct!
