It's time for a new spin. I've tried the valued, loyal employee routine for years. Although I love what I do, I seem to have the worst luck with companies going out of business.
My first job when I was in school (a mere 15 years old) was working in a family run bakery. The owner skipped town one day.
Over the course of the years I've worked:
A holding company that went bankrupt
A major airline that I worked for 18 1/2 years and loved - you guessed it - belly up
A small family run travel agency that had to close it's doors when the profits were harder to come by.
Now a large corporation I currently work is downsizing by a ton.
Although I dodged the bullet for the past almost two years, I knew the day would come and it has.
It is time for something new. What do you think about an anti-resume - I could list the places I've worked that have gone under - then sit home and collect money to keep me away. Maybe I could even make a little bonus once in a while and get paid to work for a competitor.
It could work - the possiblilty of embelishing has crossed my mind. I could add stock advisor to Martha Stewart or financial advisor to Enron - after all - who could check.
I'm up for suggestions to add to my anti-resume - anybody want to play?
