Synopsis

Fallback Position, Preparing a Contingency Plan for the Worst Case Scenario provides career and personal tools for anyone who can be fired or laid off so a job loss will be less devastating to them or their family. Those tools include analyzing what is important on the job and off, what you do not want from work, what you do want from your work, how to negotiate severance, how to protect yourself from defamation, how to handle health insurance, and how to negotiate for you and your familys well-being. Its a matter of survival. The days of years on the job and a gold watch are long gone. When push comes to shove, the friend who hired you will think of his or her career, reputation, and the organization before thinking of you. If any of those are perceived by the boss to be better off by cutting you loose, by whatever euphemism, then youre toast. Be prepared!

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

FALLBACK POSITION is the kind of Plan B guidebook for anyone who can be fired at a moment's notice by an employer with the potential to be unfair, unreasonable, and inconsiderate. It's required reading for anyone who can be down-sized, right-sized, or outsourced without warning by bosses who are not thinking of you.

About the Author:

Arnold's 30 years of leading organizations of 300 to 1300 employees and watching people get fired who weren't prepared, along with having been fired and being prepared, provided him with the experience to know the ropes and not get tangled in them.
