By Peter Lowe As more advanced technology takes the place of more and more workers, it seems wise to shield yourself from job cuts as best you can. Make sure your department is profitable. More importantly, be the reason your department is profitable.
Cutbacks usually occur in deadweight departments first.
Find ways to cut expenses and increase revenues. Be innovative, be creative, take the initiative. Make your company s bottom line your personal priority, starting in your department. Even if your company never downsizes, this kind of ingenuity will bring you recognition and promotion. Maintain a high profile.
