Great post. Another way to avoid a being laid off is to offer to help out in departments other than your owen–if you can become the “utility infield player” then you may have more managers advocating that you be kept. When a company downsizes, someone who can wear multiple hats can be extremely valuable.

Great point. I personally buy into that concept wholeheartedly. I recall a recent blog post of my own where I addressed a stress filled financial organization who employs 8300 employees and was just purchased. Who would be the one’s to get axed? The ones who did not bring added value to the company.

Thanks for the post and I am sure that this will help many people IF they choose to listen to the facts you presented.
