Usually, after we know that we are on the layoff list, our first feeling should be anger. I fought for the team's goal yesterday, but I was forced to die today. I feel strongly cheated and betrayed. When we are angry, we may do something irrational, say something radical and hurt a large number of people. In addition to venting emotions, it is not good for subsequent salary and career development. Veteran brother realized this feeling and even understood the hatred of gnashing his teeth. It turns out that we grit our teeth and suppress our inner resentment. If you can't calm down in time, it will affect your daily routine.
Layoff is essentially a contradiction between labor and capital. We should break away from the mentality of the laid-off, try to look at this matter from the perspective of the third party or management, and find out the objective reasons for being laid off. Only by understanding the logic behind being laid off can we get rid of negative emotions. For example, recent layoffs in the industry have emerged in an endless stream, with the background of trade wars and capital winters. Unlike countless hot money in the market in previous years, even unprofitable projects can be easily invested, packaged and listed for cash, but now there is no taker. In order to survive this long winter, any project must be self-funded and self-hematopoietic. Compared with open source, throttling is the most controllable and easy-to-implement solution, and layoffs are the most effective way to throttle. If you are an employer, you will make a similar decision under similar circumstances. Behind this is human nature, or capital is profit-seeking, and the mission of enterprises is to create excess profits.
The layoffs mentioned above are all from the company's point of view, which is an economic account. Whether it is a real layoff or a chance to change blood, there is no emotional factor. For big companies, management or decision-making management don't know you at all. In their eyes, you are just a number. They are responsible for finalizing the layoff plan and handing over the specific implementation work to business, personnel, legal affairs and other departments. For small companies, everyone bowed their heads and looked up, and the management who made the decision was also the executor. Emotionally, we will project resentment on the people we meet. After all, they are responsible for determining the optimization list and kicking us out according to the company's preset compensation standards, especially those who have cooperated before and now turn against each other. However, there is really no right or wrong in the adult world, only good and bad! Everyone is fighting for his own interests from his own standpoint. As long as it is reasonable and legal, there is no hostility.
The result of job-hopping is job-hopping. The former is passive and the latter is active, but this difference has a great influence on individual psychology. Compared with newcomers who have been engaged in business for a short time, old employees who have worked for several years are more likely to be fired. They are old and young, and they are also burdened with car loans and mortgages. If they don't have enough savings on hand, sudden changes can easily catch us off guard and fall into the second negative emotion: anxiety and fear. Especially in the current employment recession, if you can't get reasonable compensation and can't find a job, it will easily affect your life. After fifteen years in business, my brother was laid off only once, thinking that his life was about to change and was forced out of his comfort zone. Insecurity, anxiety or fear filled his heart and even affected his work and rest.
In order to eliminate this insecurity as soon as possible, I began to contact my friends to help me see opportunities. People will lose their thinking ability because of fear. After a circle of contact, my friends gave me a lot of psychological support, and I began to slowly restore my inner peace. In fact, the impact of layoffs on the economy is lagging behind. At least you can get legal compensation, and you have more or less savings on hand, which is equivalent to leaving a buffer for yourself and not selling real estate cheaply. As long as you use this time to sort out your core competence and values, it should be no problem to find a job with the same salary, which is also a gap year in learning to recharge. If you can't find a job because of the economic downturn, you can also consider borrowing money from relatives and friends to tide over the difficulties. Who hasn't met with difficulties yet? Two years ago, I worked in various cities and had to get up early and work hard on weekends. I see many people struggling for survival, smiling and optimistic. From then on, I felt that a lot of suffering was imaginary. As long as you can work hard, you are not afraid of hunger. Anxiety and fear are melodramatic and nothing more than greed.
Just like looking in the mirror every day, we will know ourselves from their evaluation of ourselves. For confident people, other people's comments are just reference, so don't pay too much attention. But for people with low self-esteem, others' evaluation is all, which directly affects self-identity. People with low self-esteem can easily regard layoffs as the denial of themselves by the outside world, thus becoming depressed and inferior. They are afraid that others will know that they have been laid off, and even dare not fight for reasonable and legal compensation and leave their jobs. They also dare not directly talk about this experience when looking for a new job. Once exposed to this experience, it is easy to collapse. Veteran brother used to be a man with extreme inferiority, but his life experience and self-study over the years made him stand up. Although he is not the best, he is not without merit. I no longer rely too much on others' evaluation of myself. If other people's comments are reasonable, I will adopt them when I am in a good mood and will not listen to others. I'm just me, different fireworks.
Layoff, if it is a common phenomenon in the industry, is the economic environment; If it is the behavior of a few enterprises, it means that the operators can't do it. As for why only a few people in the team were laid off, it depends. It may be that the ability no longer matches, it may be that it is not "obedient" enough to be squeezed out, or it may be that unscrupulous enterprises take the opportunity to exchange blood. Even if your's abilities don't match, it doesn't prove that you are useless. It's just that supply and demand have changed. You can find a matching job again, or you can take this opportunity to refresh the skill tree for transformation and upgrading. An objective analysis of the reasons for being laid off is to face yourself. We don't need to take on things that we shouldn't, so we can have fun easily. As long as we are willing, our destiny will always be in our own hands.
Misfortune is in a happy place, happiness is in an unfortunate place, and danger breeds new opportunities. Due to the economic depression, under the pressure of layoffs and unemployment, many people have encountered psychological, health, disputes and other problems, as well as the cost of study, which has also led to the contrarian growth of psychological counseling, Corning Hospital, legal consultants, education and training industries. We can look for opportunities to empower these industries through information technology, improve service efficiency and expand the service population. Even if the overall growth rate of some industries slows down, there are still leading enterprises flying against the wind. Winter is a good time for industry reshuffle and integration, and employment opportunities will be concentrated in these leading enterprises. In addition, emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and 5G physical networks are gestating. As long as we pick up the magnifying glass and microscope, we can always find the right opportunity from the danger, as long as we eliminate negative emotions, rebuild confidence and regain our brain power as soon as possible!
