Step 1

Most large companies fire non-asset workers blindly to meet bottom lines and margins for a % cut. The first step in this process should be to find out if you are considered an asset to the company. An asset is someone that can bring in a profit, or help the company revive its financial outlook. If your position is considered an asset position, you are probably safe from a moderate downsizing. Even if you are safe it never hurts to take every penny you would spend buying a flat screen television or new car and pay off high interest rate debt, and then save.
Step 2

You should try to become friends with your boss or look to get involved in a union if possible. If you are involved in a union look to become a key position. It is usually frowned upon to fire union employees that are representative of the union leaders. If you cannot join a union look to put in extra off the clock hours to work on projects, and or helping your boss on side jobs. You essentially are trying to become an asset, as it is harder to fire someone you can't live without.
Step 3

Help those around you and keep a positive outlook. Try to be brave assertive and positive. If you are let go, remember to be polite and ask for a reconsideration for a smaller part or a salary cut. If they say no ask if you can use them to write a recommendation to another company.
