As soon as you finish reading this blog, send an immediate but short e-mail like this to your boss.
Dear Boss,
When you have 5 minutes, I need to run something by you.
Best,
Steve
This is your preemptive measure in approaching your boss now while 90% of Americans still have jobs. And quite honestly, we only hear the dreaded numbers worsening every day.
Take the strike now by letting your boss identify your face with the person they don’t want to fire.
When the word “recession” is used in conjunction with layoffs for any company – large or small – it’s virtually a blank check for your boss to fire almost anybody.
Being visible is the number one thing you can do to keep your job. It’s really important this very minute to actually ask your boss for some face time.
That’s right. Do it in person – asking to save your job by email doesn’t count.
Most of the time, this really works. Even the meanest boss hates to fire anybody, but it’s more difficult for a boss to fire an employee who just came to them face-to-face and asked to keep their job.
Still don’t believe me? Let’s role play. Follow steps 1-3 by clicking the link below…
Nice blog Stephen.
