About To Be Fired? Here's What To Expect.
It happens to everyone. There are very few employees around who
have who have not been let go from a job . . . or who haven't
wondered about it.
It's important to understand what can and should happen if and
when you get fired. After all, it's not the end of the world no
matter how painful. There is a life after being let go.
Here are five firing procedures you have the right to expect:
1. You should be let go in private, not in front of your
co-workers. This should take place in a room away from someone
overhearing. It's bad enough being let go or fired without the
rumor mill grinding away over your misfortune.
2. The HR rep or your boss should make it quick. It's to your
advantage for them to be clear that a firm decision has been
made about you and there is no uncertainty or room for
negotiation.
3. If it's a layoff and not a firing based on performance,
management should let you know this is a business decision. If
it's a firing based on performance, they should provide
documentation.
4. Management should keep it cool, no matter how upsetting it is
to you. They shouldn't react to your distress except with
compassion. This is not a time for confrontation on either side.
5. Management should outline what support you can expect. For
example, if
they are offering a severance package, it should
show how it can contribute to helping you find a job elsewhere.
In any case, you want to be provided with written references
(unless your employment has been a disaster.)
Suddenly being out of job can be devastating. Especially if you
have others depending on your income. So it becomes very
important to start picking up the pieces as soon as possible.
This has the effect of getting you past the hurt as soon as
possible. Plus it gives you a plan to start working on.
Finding a new job becomes your full-time new occupation. Having
a carefully thought job search plan of action is very healthy
because it doesn't give you time to grouse about your bad luck.
The good news is there is an excellent program that can have you
entertaining job offers in as little as 14 days. You can be
face-to-face with your next boss in a matter of days. Having a
track like this to run on goes a long way to removing the sting
of your recent loss.
