Firing Back: Power Strategies for Cutting the Best Deal When You're About to Lose Your Job
Downsizing is a fact of business life in the 1990s, and Galos and McIntosh have focused upon the actual moment of termination. This is a handbook for preparation in an employment crisis, written by a human resources attorney and a freelance writer. Part 1 covers advice for those who suspect or may know that their job is in jeopardy. Parts 2 and 3 address those who have already been terminated but haven't met with their employer to work out a separation package. The fourth part is for those who already have worked out a separation package and are in the process of moving on. Another way to read this book is to begin with the last chapter, entitled "Taking Control of Your Future." The authors offer important advice and insight for anyone in an unsettled corporate environment. Although much of their advice is not new, most individuals involved in the uncertain world of corporate America need to consider these topics.Mary Whaley
