If the hiring process were a relationship, your friends would’ve staged an intervention by now.

🧩 It’s broken—and still called “best practice.”

Retiring outdated layoff myths is essential for a healthier workplace. It's time for a Proactive, Ethical, Transparent (PET) approach to layoffs that prioritizes trust, respect, and transparency. Let's create workplaces where employees know they are valued, even in tough times. #PETApproach

Layoff myths hurt survivors and those at risk: 'High performers are safe.' 'It can’t happen to me.' Truth? Layoffs don’t follow logic—they’re messy, unfair, and unpredictable. Let’s bust myths and embrace structured PET (Proactive Ethical Transparent) Layoff Policy.

Even in the uncertainty of a layoff, joy can find you. It’s in unexpected kindness, quiet moments of connection, and the courage to receive love. Grateful for the lessons this season has brought. Reminding me that joy doesn’t look like success, it looks like care.

Real Help for Layoff Survivors: Less Advice, More Action

✔ Empathy first – Ask how they’re feeling, not what they’re doing wrong.
✔ Actionable help – Connect them with recruiters and hiring managers.
✔ Respect boundaries – Job searching today is harder than ever.

Small actions make a big impact.

The hiring market is broken because companies treat candidates like they don’t matter.

❌ Ghosting.

❌ Not talent focused.

❌ Culture fit excuses.

❌ Interviews that feel like interrogations.

A bad hiring experience doesn’t just cost you talent, it costs you customers.

Hiring teams, approach recruiting like a product team:

✅ Every candidate is a brand interaction.

✅ Hiring is a product channel.

✅ How you treat candidates shapes your reputation.

The best hires aren’t checkbox fillers. They’re impact drivers.

The Hiring Market Is Broken

Companies claim to value "candidate experience," but often fail to show it. Instead of respect and transparency, candidates face dismissive, condescending, and demeaning treatment. Many leave interviews feeling undervalued, unheard, and disrespected #HiringNonExistent

What will it take for companies to see the win-win in getting layoffs right? Consumers are watching. Reputation is on the line. Future talent is paying attention. Doing the right thing isn’t a cost it’s an investment. #EthicalLayoffs #EmployerBrand #TheLayoffLie

Layoffs aren’t just business decisions, they are personal crises. How a company handles layoffs speaks volumes about its leadership, values, and compassion. It’s time for leaders to step up and set a new standard. #CompassionateLeadership #MostValuableAsset

Another weekend, another layoff headline. Another round of chaos, fear, and uncertainty. Why do companies meticulously plan products & projects but treat layoffs as last-minute, reactive events? Layoffs deserve the same structure, foresight, and strategy. #LeadershipMatters

It’s Time to Rethink Layoffs

The unspoken truth: Employees are line items on a balance sheet.

When cuts come, even top talent can go. That’s why you must:

🔹 Manage your career like a product
🔹 Expand your skills & network
🔹 Prepare for change, before it happens

It’s Time To Rethink Layoffs

💡 What you can do:

✅ Think like a free agent – You own your career.
✅ Stay Ready – Resume updated, savings ready, network.
✅ Never stop learning – Stay competitive.
✅ Be proactive – Plan as if layoffs are always possible.

Rethink layoffs

Layoffs don’t mean you failed. Most employees are cut not because of performance, but profit margins.

⚠️ Some companies claim rehire eligibility but secretly blacklist ex-employees.

Know the game. Plan ahead. Your job is a business agreement, not a guarantee. #LayoffTruths

It’s time to rethink layoffs

Hard truth: Layoffs are about business, not performance.

✅ Be ready.
✅ Keep your resume updated.
✅ Build your network.
✅ Always have an exit strategy.

Think like a free agent, not an employee. Your career is yours to manage.

It’s Time to Rethink Layoffs

The New Work Contract - your job exists only as long as it’s financially beneficial to your employer. Performance, loyalty, & dedication don’t guarantee job security.

Treat your career like a product … refine, market, & protect it.

True leaders plans for economic downturns, leadership changes, and reorganizations. Proactive companies protect their most valuable assets, people. They should build layoff policies and processes that align with their values, strengthen their brand, and set them up for long-term success. #layoffs

It’s time to rethink layoffs.

Layoffs aren’t just about cost-cutting, they’re a reflection of leadership and planning. So why do so many companies treat them as last-minute decisions? It’s time to pivot and proactively plan.

It’s time to rethink layoffs.

Too many companies handle them reactively, damaging brand trust, morale, and future hiring. A business without a layoff strategy has no real workforce strategy. A Structured, Visible, and Communicated Layoff Policy is a must!
