Amy is scared. There are layoffs happening in her company and she does not know how to prepare in case it happens to her.

What you do is just as important as what you don't do. Don't get involved in speculation. Standing around and discussing the inevitable does nothing for you or your organization.

Do not listen to what others think might happen. Most of all, focus on the present. Do your job to the best of your ability every day, despite what is happening around you. Although you may begin to look for other opportunities, stay focused on your current responsibilities. Though layoffs are concerning, this is a time to be at your best.

Tune in tomorrow for more thoughts.
