Dont get Layoff. Following a few basic layoff guidelines will assist employees in avoiding layoffs during these tough times.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Arrive at least 5 minutes early. When you are going to be late, be sure to notify your boss. There is no excuse in this age of technology not to let the company know. Being late more than 2 times a year is questionable. You will need to apologize for your tardiness and offer to make up the missed time.

  2. Step 2

    If you have sick time available, of course use it if you must. If you have not used much time, and your company as a "use it or loose it" policy, use some of it, but not all of it. Even if other employees use all their time, you will need to have a better attendance record. A boss notices absenteeism.

  3. Step 3

    Mind your own business. Do not mind other employees and the company's business. You may believe that other workers are getting away with situations, but in the end you may find that they aren't. The company doesn't appreciate your opinions. Taking care of yourself is a big undertaking, but if you mind yourself you will do a fine job.

  4. Step 4

    No whining on the job.

  5. Step 5

    Be respectful to your boss and co-workers. Also show respect for their belongings.
