Yesterday, I talked about one way
executives avoid paying severance.
So what do you do
if you’re the target of
an isolate and ignore campaign?
You get yourself laid off.
Laid off, not fired.
Fired means no golden parachute,
no cash to fund your transition.
Not good.
You have to be annoying
but not break any of the written rules.
If your workplace is suits and ties
(and there is no written dress code),
you go in semi-casual.
If meetings are stuffy and formal,
you crack (clean) jokes.
You ask your boss tough questions
in front of others
(bring out some of the dead bodies).
You do what you’re told
but you don’t volunteer.
Eventually, you will be let go.
You’ll get no reference
but if they were trying to get rid of you,
you wouldn’t get that anyway.
