Signs a Company Is Healthy or Headed for Layoffs

from Tips for Work and Life with Andrew LaCivita · host Andrew LaCivita

One of the biggest mistakes professionals make is assuming that because a company is hiring… the company must be healthy. Uh, sadly, no. Sometimes they're putting fresh paint on the walls and didn't bother to patch the concrete underneath. Today, I have a short, but powerful lesson on how to evaluate whether you're joining a company that's going up… Or is sinking, but just doesn't know it yet. Of course, no one has a crystal ball. But as your dear ole' Coach Andy likes to say… I can see around corners because I know what to look for. In the next 5+ minutes, you too will have my see-around-the-corner goggles. Just ask a few questions and you'll know whether their needle is moving up or down. Smart professionals don't just evaluate the job. They evaluate the future of the company offering it. If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:   1. Check out the milewalk Academy, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums. 2. I have hundreds of educational and inspirational videos on my YouTube Channel. 3. Grab any of my four books related to career development, interviewing, hiring, and goal setting. All can be found on my Amazon Author Page. 4. Follow me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter (X), TikTok, Threads, and Facebook. 5. Stay in touch with me in your email inbox by joining my newsletter here! --Andy
