Tai Lopez - 3 Tips For Getting Any Job You Want — Without A Degree, So You Can Always Make Money

Do You Care About Your Job? Management Look for Faults, Cut Jobs, Save Money

The economy has been a hot topic in the media for some time and it only seems to be getting hotter with all the buzz over the years about economic stimulation plans.  Companies have always had plans of their own to save money (not so much face) and it always seems to boil down to job cuts.  

One way they go about choosing who will stay and who will go is to look for faults they will have ordinarily overlooked.  Let's say that you usually are the one who shows up for work a few minutes late, but you stay late to make up the difference, this may not have ever been an issue but it starts to become one for a business owner, boss or supervisor who is looking to cut some jobs. 


While you go about your daily business in this mock scenario, a group had already met and wanted the answer to the following question, "What will be the checklist we will follow to start eliminating some jobs?"  A leader makes a suggestion, "Let's definitely start looking closely at those individuals who like to come in tardy."  A supervisor says, "What about those ones who often stay late and we pay them over time?"  Others make suggestions, "Hey let's take a look at the workers who have been out for a long time and what about those parents who are always looking to leave early for one thing or another related to their children?  How are these family distractions affecting their work performances?"

Meanwhile, those who are not privy to such confidential meetings are being watched, actions or inactions are being documented, and the plan is to let them go sooner rather than later.  There won't be too much talk about one's work performance, warnings will appear harmless, and meetings will seem like business as usual.  Employees who have been sitting comfortably for awhile now are surprised when change becomes evident and a good buddy or favorite leaders are no longer working at the company.

Start the process of securing your job even if your efforts mean nothing to corporate, do what you can to stand out from the rest anyway.  You know what you have been doing and not doing lately at work, so make a difference.  Change your attitude.  Cut down on the negative talk and complaints.  Watch expressing your bold opinions to leadership.  Other things you might want to do:

• Correct your own faults rather than point out others.
• Look for ways to save the company money and time.
• Direct the manager's attention to misdeeds.
• Smile more and act like you care about your job.
• Write your ideas down make a copy and submit to those who can help you keep your job.
• Research what your company's competitors are up to and share your findings with leadership.
• Read books and attend classes about what you do and how you can do it more effectively.
• Volunteer or offer to work longer hours when you can.

Sometimes, no matter what you do, some leaders have to make the difficult decision to let employees go anyway.  But at least you went out doing the best you could if this happens to you.  Remember to get those letters of recommendation!

Don't Like the Employees, the Workplace--Your Job

When one is constantly complaining about his or her workplace to family and friends, what he or she doesn't realize is that slowly he or she is tearing away what little peace, comfort and happiness that is in that home or between good friends.  No one wants to look at someone everyday miserable that yet again something went wrong at work!  But it is unfortunate that there are so many employees leaving from work, headed for home either quietly walking around their residences barely speaking to relatives or angrily tending to children and household duties.  The more one warns, "You have got to do something about your job, before..."  the more the bitter boss or worker comes up with yet another excuse as to why he or she is behaving in such negative ways.  In time, excuses run out and people around you are ready to take action.  Children misbehave more.  Partners start looking at the grass being greener on the other side.  Friends stop calling and spending time with you.  Get the picture? 

We all have to pay bills and deal with workplace matters that we rather run away from, but when those job issues become so big that a partner is ready to walk out, children are screaming about not seeing daddy and mommy, and relatives are warning, "Your family needs you..." and yet one keeps working long hours, hating the job, etc.--admit it, he or she is sick. 

Life has a funny way of dealing what appears to be a bad deck of cards, but really turns out to be a win.  Don't wait until the company fires/demotes/lays off or takes some project/benefit/title from you.  You know at some point a boss or co-workers will notice your negative moods and repeated errors, so it is either change or go elsewhere.  For some readers, start today looking for ways to manage stress--even if it means you have to start looking for another job. 

But for those who already received their job loss notice, look on the brighter side, you are free to work where you truly want or start something new that you can really appreciate it and besides your family will like you being around--at least for a time.
