FIRE PROOFING - Protecting Your Job in the 90s

These days no one is safe. With corporate downsizing, mergers, restructuring and relocation, anyone from CEO to line manager may find a pink slip in their in-basket. What's good for the company may be a disaster for the person who has just been fired. Fire Proofing describes the strategies that all employees should adopt to protect their jobs and, if the worst happens, to ensure that they leave on the most favorable terms.

Fire Proofing offers advice on:

• how to ensure that reasonable terms of employment are clearly defined when a job offer is made
• how to deal with termination, from the moment a position is threatened, to negotiation of a severance package
• how to plan a constructive suvival program after termination.

Throughout the book, Brian A. Grosman makes it clear that there are positive steps that any employee can and should take to protect his or her own interests. It is timely and essential reading for every employee in these troubled economic times.
