I recently had an opportunity to help a local church that had the dreadful task of laying off staff.

Facing a lay off? Don’t just accept the severance package they show you. Maybe you can negotiate for some improvements. It’s worth a shot.

Most employees experience some company acquisition turmoil in their careers…. They are told they are “excess,” the company is “downsizing,” or that they need to relocate... When she was first laid off, Cindy was excited…here was a chance to explore different opportunities. But when the job search extended past 6 months, she became bored, doubting herself and her ability to really land a worthwhile job. Then doubt turned into pragmatism [...]
