9 Best Ways to Get Laid Off

When it comes to layoffs, it’s not about seniority anymore.  Are you staying below the radar? Here’s some suggestions on what NOT to do.

1.  Call your mother regularly during work.  Did I forget to mention that she lives in China - and you’re using the company phone?

2.  Go golfing on the company expense account.

3.  Brag about your seniority.

4.  Ask for more personal time.

5.  Don’t use deodorant.

6.  Schedule your haircuts during work hours.

7.  Supply your child’s class with company pens and notebooks.

8.  Sell company stationary at the local flea market.

9.  Have your supervisor overhear you making fun of his hairpiece.
