1.“I manage just over 20 corporate clients for my company, but yesterday my boss decided to give my top two clients to one of my colleagues and I compete with her to get my annual bonus!”
2. “I was poached by a friend from a very good job and now, two years later, he says he can’t afford my salary so he’s making me redundant – nice friend – I couldn’t believe it!”
3. "I'd been working for a good friend of mine for 13 years - he's the owner and Chairman - but a while back he stunned me and said he wanted to take a more active role in the company and there wasn't enough 'fat' to pay two executive salaries so he asked me to clear my desk - just like that!"
All three conversations illustrate the same lesson: be prepared for the unexpected in your career; it will happen to most of us! #proteuscareermanagement #careerfutureproofing #careeradvice
