Over the past few weeks, I've been disheartened to just how many great people across every industry have been let go. Speaking with many of them, a common theme is that most have previously been dismissed, are unsure about what comes next, what their current status is, and if they are entitled to or can negotiate any assistance from their former company.
So this week, I'm launching the #HandbookChallenge. While not as fun as the Ice Bucket Challenge, it is no less important. More cuts and reorgs are coming. The best time to prepare yourself is right now.
Share this post with at least 3 connections. They have 72 hours to get a physical or open-version digital copy of their company's latest HR handbook and review the exit policies.
This information can vital to help you make the right decisions in the coming weeks and months. If you have questions, ask. This is not intended to overwhelm HR departments with requests, but rather to empower employees everywhere. Having a copy of the right information can save everyone time, headaches, and arbitration in the future.
