Layoffs are a Double-Whammy

 



Layoffs are a Double-Whammy 

BUT You are the Hero of Your own Movie, 

and the Director too. 


Layoffs are a 

Double-Whammy!

You not only lose a job, 

but you are losing the job 

at a time when market is bad. 

Many companies are laying off 

and hardly anyone is recruiting. 

You are searching for the new job,

and so are thousands of job seekers, 

creating an imbalance in demand-supply. 

Very little demand and high supply means 

that there are others ready to take that job 

at a lower salary for the sake of their survival. 

This increases the chances of not clearing the 

job interviews even when you were very good. 

And leads to 'learned helplessness' (youtube it).

And you have all the time in the world to worry, 

to ruminate, blame & question your capability and

to allow imposter syndrome to take root and grow. 


The same can happen even without losing your Job. 

You can go through similar cycle of lowered sense 

of self-esteem and self-confidence when 

you miss a promotion or appreciation

for a deserving work product. 

STOP that vicious cycle and

downward spiral. 


So, STOP That. 

Take a Step Back. 

Talk to your Mentor. 

Go find a good Coach. 

No looking at the past, 

Focus on the 'Future' that 

you are yet to create for yourself. 


Picture Abhi Baaki Hain Mere Dost 

(The movie has not reached it's end yet) 


You are the Hero 

of Your Own Movie. 

And the Director too. 

Re-Write Your Story. 

And do find your best 

'Supporting' Star Cast.

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
