Layoffs are a fact of life in the modern economy, and the tech industry has recently been hit hard with job cuts.[0]<\/a><\/sup> As companies look to cut costs, workers who may have been previously secure in their jobs now have to start preparing for the possibility of layoffs.[1]<\/a><\/sup> It\u2019s not only the laid-off workers who stand to suffer in a layoff economy, however; the prospect of layoffs can have a lasting effect on the mental health of workers, and it can also change employees\u2019 behaviour, stunting career development and damaging relationships with their employers.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to be aware of your rights and entitlements if you are laid off. In certain nations, employees who have been laid off or terminated are legally mandated to receive severance pay. However, other countries do not have such regulations in place.[3]<\/a><\/sup> In any case, it\u2019s important to understand what you are entitled to and to negotiate a fair severance package if you can.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to be proactive and make sure you are doing all you can to remain employable if layoffs are looming. It\u2019s wise to research the value of your skill set and to actively look for additional opportunities. If you\u2019re still employed, you should also be doing your best to make a good impression on your bosses – don\u2019t be afraid to raise your hand for extra work, and make sure you\u2019re offering your full value to the company.<\/p>\n

Finally, it\u2019s important to be prepared financially if you are laid off. Make sure you know what will happen to your health insurance, and look into portable insurance options if you can. It\u2019s also wise to look into other sources of income – such as unemployment insurance – if you are laid off.[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Layoffs are a fact of life, and it\u2019s important to be aware of your rights and to be prepared in the event that you are laid off. It\u2019s also important to be proactive in your career and ensure that you are doing all you can to remain employable. Finally, it\u2019s important to be prepared financially for the possibility of a layoff, so you can ensure that you have the resources you need to continue to thrive.<\/p>\n
