Publisher's Synopsis
Being an employee in this dynamic and brutal environment, you never know when you may end up facing the wrong end of the barrel. From working 24/7 to working 0/7 is a shock which not many are able to absorb. People suddenly feel lost. As if they are not left with any purpose in life. Many of them start sinking. They lose health - both physical and mental. And before they know it, they are left holding their hands amidst mortgages and other debts. However, there are a precious few who not only survive such phases but in fact, come out stronger from them. They end up fitter and stronger mentally and physically. And their finances also remain manageable. And it is this breed of people who emerge victorious not only in this slowdown but also in the next boom as well. This book endeavours to expand the creed of such winning people. It aims to lay down certain fundamental, simple and easy-to-follow steps which when followed will lead to not just tackling the busts but riding the waves as well. These self-consolidation steps broadly fall into four categories viz. personal financial well-being, mental health, physical wellbeing, and staying hireable. These four categories have been distributed over fifteen chapters to provide a comprehensive and easy-to-follow guide. I am sure you will be able to relate to areas mentioned in the book and benefit from them. So read on and hopefully by the time you finish the book, you will be in a position to say that you know how to survive a layoff and emerge better off from it!
