How Do You Cope When Sacked? by sleeksavbvy: 9:58am On Dec 18, 2015
I work in a company that you walk in but do not know if you will return the next day due to the threat of sack pervading the air. Close friends that you known for weeks have been unceremoniously kicked out.

The prayer that nearly everyone mutters in the office is that[i][/i]This will never get to me by the grace of God. However, lets face reality, what if it happens inadvertently? How do you think one can cope with it? This economic situation we are in is not smiling for many companies in Nigeria. They are cutting cost. So I will appreciate your response. Thanks!!!

1] Save money

BEFORE BEING SACKED

Work with all determination
Try to have favour from the higher ups
Keep your relationships with staff strictly formal

My view: No matter the job, plan for the unseen.
In as much as you feel you can be sacked anytime,
prepare your mind for it, get a low key biz or an alternative
in case you are sacked.

With that, it makes it better.

Re: How Do You Cope When Sacked? by teemanbastos(m): 11:15am On Dec 18, 2015
It depends..
To me i believe that maybe some savings when still in the system is good.
Then also if the company looks job-insecure.
I guess one'll be looking for better opportunities elsewhere. No need placing all eggs in a basket.

Most importantly.. Having the mindset that you won't last forever on a job pays.. Helps you strategise well whether you wanna be on your own or look for fresher opportunities.

Prepare your mind for it. Try to save and make some investments the time you are working.

God save us in this country
Re: How Do You Cope When Sacked? by Ephemmm: 11:16am On Dec 18, 2015
It is simple if you have been strictly sticking to your financial budget as proper prior planning prevents poor performance. If it happens, let your contemporaries and family members know the state of affairs so that they won't rely on you for financial help excessively anymore.

However, try to relax well too because you won't have time to relax anymore immediately you get another job : stop eating Mr Bigs as you have ample time to prepare your own meal at home. Catch fun by watching football as Chealsea is being sent back to relegation by Aston Villa in the weekend instead of going for unnecessary shopping to reduce stress tongue tongue tongue.

I dey come back to finish my write up please: let me check whether dem don sack Mourhino.

If you were sacked for something that was your fault, learn from it...

If it wasn't your fault, then don't worry too much about it.

The most important thing is that you keep moving and stay positive

I would also suggest that you take advantage of the down time to try and learn an additional skill before diving back into the job market...

am in the same shoe but am not really scare because many people that made it in this world they are rather sacked from work or dropout from school due to frustration, Dont be afraid the fact still remains that change is inevitable.

if they sack me today am so rich in many ideas that i can invest on, get a small business start working on it

it is well bro

1. Save

2. Be productive. Give your 110%

Nobody sacks an asset or a staff adding to the bottom line.
