How NOT to Lose Your Job After the Holidays
Author Explains "How Not to Lose Your Job After the Holidays"
New York, NY (MMD Newswire) December 18, 2008 -- Many companies are unwilling to do mass layoffs so close to the holidays for fear of bad press. But that doesn't mean more cuts aren't coming.
David Seaman, social media expert and author of Dirty Little Secrets of Buzz, says that doing something outrageous at the office is the best way to keep your job in 2009.
"It's counterintuitive, but it works," he says, "employees who are talked about end up getting the sale, landing the promotion, and becoming valuable assets to the company. If no one has ever heard of you, you're at risk of being let go before anyone else."
In an age of Facebook and ubiquitous online presence, Seaman's new book contends that the salesman who is well-known gets the sale, even in a lean economic climate.
"It's feast or famine right now. Trusted employees will rise -- while newcomers and unknowns may be sent packing. If you become tied to the company's image in a big way, it is that much harder for them to fire you. You become an inseparable part of the brand."
