Book Description

January 1, 1995
At last, a book that describes in clear language how to protect your rights if you're in danger of being fired, downsized, rightsized, or laid off. The author discusses how to tell if your job is on the line, what to say during the exit negotiation, when to use a lawyer, what laws can help you, and more.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Rarely does an author or human resources professional approach job loss with anything resembling a smile, let alone laughter. But since statistics say that every American will work for 10 employers, keep each job 3.6 years, and change careers three times before retirement, a sense of humor is advisable. Quittel provides some extremely valuable information, including a thorough grounding in the basics of job negotiation, an explanation of filing suits against employers, and recognizing the danger signals of job loss. Just as important is her ironically upbeat attitude: in this brave new world of work, better be prepared for anything! Barbara Jacobs

5.0 out of 5 stars GUIDE ME !, June 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Fire Power: Quick Tips When Your Career Gets the Shaft (Paperback)
An excellent pathway for those who are about to be "moved out of their position", position eliminated, downsized or down right fired ! Simple directions and suggestions as to what to do and when to act (or not).
