An Offer of Help from Manager Tools

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The guys over at Manager Tools Podcast sent out an email today, and I wanted to share the details with everyone. Given the current turmoil in the economy, these guys are coming up with an interesting, and generous, way to help out:

In light of the recent market turmoil, we want to share our Layoff Immunization and Getting Fired shownotes and slides with everyone. While this is premium content, this is one of those times where generosity is called for.

We’ve included notes and slides from two shows: The Layoff Immunization show, and Getting Laid Off – Part 1 – Finances Rule. (Lest you think we’re holding back parts 2+, they’re not published yet).

Please find the files below.

If you’re not affected, great. If you know someone who is worried about their future, share these documents with them freely, with our complements and best wishes.

Being a manager means caring for others. It’s a privilege to serve you all.

Not only is Manager Tools a great podcast, but Mike and Mark are great guys all the way around. Can’t say enough about the information they are giving out for free on their podcast, and this is just a small part of it.

    Linked: Work burnout rises despite company investments in mental health

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    As I’ve said before, many employers did the easy stuff. They invested in some mental health tools, promoted using employee assistance programs, talked more about mental health, heck they even gave people more time off or at least pushed people to actually use the time off they hadn’t been. And yet, here we are. Why?

    Because they haven’t yet done the hard work of making the workplace not the place that hurts mental health to start with. There’s no easy fix for that. It won’t happen in a few weeks, but if you don’t start looking at it, you’re going to find yourself without many employees to keep going. Because in 2021, people have options, and those options are only going to keep growing as younger generations make very different decisions about their careers than those of us in older generations are used to.

    The workplace will change one way or another. If your’s doesn’t want to, it will be killed.

    Linked – Looking for a Job While the World is Falling Apart

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    The advice in the article below might seem familiar. I’ve seen plenty of advice on the topic of how to keep moving in life during difficult times over the last few years. Things like turning off the news, keeping to a normal routine, etc. What I like about this article is that it acknowledges the elephant in the room that typical advice doesn’t when you’re not working.

    “Many people are in a job search and have to keep the quest moving regardless of world events.”

    Therein lies the rub. The difference between being informed and being overwhelmed often comes down to being able to turn the news off, set boundaries around our social media use, and so on. But it can be especially difficult to do that when your day isn’t filled with things you have to do.

    Company Polo Shirts

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    When you travel for business, you tend to see them everywhere. Yes, the golf shirt with the corporate logo on them. At trade shows they are omnipresent, if you spend enough time in airports you really do see them all. I get it, they are nice little marketing pieces, and if you do enough appearances…
