How to keep your job during a recession- part 2
In the last post I mentioned that focusing on activity is a great tactic to help you get through these rough times. The second tip is:
Do not complain- I understand that thing are really hard right now and chances are you are doing more work for less money these days. Your stress level is through the roof and your boss is riding you like a drill sergeant. Here is a warning: Do NOT Complain to anyone, even your closest co-worker. The reality is when times are tough like this, people will do anything to survive. If you openly complain to the wrong person, rest assured that they will quickly throw you under the bus to save their own hide. Keep in mind that things are tough and there is a lot of stress for your boss too. The last thing they want to deal with is a malcontent. Here is what you do. Start by zipping your mouth and starting telling yourself and others that you are lucky to have your job. Accept things as they are and stay focused on accentuating the positive. Don’t forget to SMILE. J
