Don’t you think it would make you more powerful if you could kiss your job goodbye whenever you wanted without concern?The Fear of TerminationI understand what it’s like to live in constant fear of being fired or laid off. it's an unfortunate fact of life that many bosses use the threat of termination to remain in control. Unfortunately, using fear in this manner is prevalent in our society. It causes employees to be afraid and doubt themselves, and gives businesses reason to deny them them good raises and promotions as well as to maintain control. For years, I was afraid of losing my job. My employers often belittled my achievements, wrote snarling comments in reviews, or denied well-deserved raises and promotions. I held on in spite of the constant stress and pressure, the screaming and yelling, and the demands for unpaid work and overtime. As with many employees, this put extreme stress on my family life (which was often non-existent) and caused health problems related to Stressand Tension. As the yearly review came due, the question on everyone's mind was whether or not they'd still be employed in the next month. On those occasions when the hammer fell, it was devastating. Sure, my boss always said the employee should never be surprised by a firing decision, but every single time I had to let someone go, it came as horrible shock to them, completely unexpected and they always felt it was undeserved.Understand Your AlternativesI learned how to prepare by understanding my alternatives, knowing the legalities, and ensuring I had enough money and resources to survive without a job for enough time to find a new one.
