If you think that the unsteady tides of the workplace have made you just a little nauseous, go look for a life preserver, because this week, the seas go from choppy to tsunami. I mean this both metaphorically and practically. If you feel like you’re in a position to lose your job, waste no time and look around you for a lifeline. It’s out there and you, more than almost any other sign, has the connections and the network that you have been quietly, circumspectly acquiring. It’s time to tap those connections now. If for some reason you cannot jump ship and must be prepared to go down with it, you have a specialized type of knowledge that will allow you to find gainful and rewarding work when the storm clears and the waters return to a more placid state. In deep, water, learn to dive.
