Few people realize that a strong parallel exists between marriage and jobs. In marriage, most couples focus on the wedding and the honeymoon and overlook figuring out ways to avoid divorce and the non-survival of the marriage. Similarly, most individuals are focused on getting the job - and are ill-equipped, ill-trained, and ignore thinking about how to "survive" in the job. This book is about job survival. Amidst massive downsizing and employment being torn asunder, the author discovered that while one person doing the same job as another would avoid the axe...a not-so-happy fate would befall his or her counterpart. His advice in "How to Avoid the Pink Slip" is about how to keep your " employment head" about you when all others are being beheaded.
