I know that facing uncertainty at work can be stressful, particularly in the current economic climate. While I don't know the particulars of your situation, I can provide some general advice to help reduce the chance of being laid off.
Start by demonstrating your skills and value to your company. Meanwhile, show your talents on high-priority assignments. Provide regular progress updates on the financial impact directly related to your work. And share your accomplishments with your directors.
Next, take steps to make sure you are seen as vital to your clients. Often employers consider the impact layoffs will have on customer relations. However, it may leave a lasting impression on management and colleagues who may be very helpful in your future career.
To prepare for a layoff, take practical steps, such as updating your resume (简历) and
LinkedIn profile to highlight any promotions, new skills, projects, and educational achievements. Make use of your network on LinkedIn and other virtual platforms to connect with people in your field.
Financial preparations are also strongly advised. Review your budget and cut it where you can. Make sure you know the requirements for unemployment in your state as well as the anticipated benefit amount so that you can work that into any budget plans. And if possible, consider applying for new opportunities.
