Step 1: Write Down Your Story

Business has been slow for the last few months. I came into work this morning, and my boss walked by, I said hi. But he didn’t say anything and kept on going. We normally have a weekly one on one but he cancelled it this morning. I must be getting laid off. I need to start looking up some recruiters I know, and work on brushing up my resume. I should warn my team and other co-workers of the pending layoffs so they can get prepared.

Step 2: Cross out things you don’t know for sure

Step 3: Refocus on The Facts Business has been slow for the last few months. I came into work this morning, and my boss walked by, I said hi. But he didn’t say anything and kept on going. We normally have a weekly one on one but he cancelled it this morning.

Reschedule your one-on-one for another date and continue on with your normal routine.
