Reminder During Company Cutbacks
We've seen many companies have to make cutbacks this year. You may be working for one of these companies right now. Or, you may feel that your company is about to start making cutbacks.
If this is you, then don't use this as an opportunity to ask for more š¢. Your company is struggling. Asking for more comes off as tone deaf.
Rather, identify how you can help your company move forward.
It may seem basic, yet I've seen countless employee request more during bad times. If times get worse, then they are usually the first to get cut further.

Solid advice. šÆ When your company is struggling, focus on being part of the solution, not demanding more for yourself. š¤ Identify ways you can provide extra value and help the company navigate tough times. š§ Staying positive and proactive is the best way to prove your worth. šŖ Complaining or making tone-deaf requests will just paint a target on your back if deeper cuts come. šÆ
