In a recent article written by Kate Lorenz, posted by MSN.com, covered the Six Ways to Prepare For a Layoff.
Here at Plain Joe, we want to give you the six essential steps to get out of there and still take your Plain Joe with you!
Six ways to leave with your Joe:
1. Get Your Plain Joe Gear Organized.
Start by cleaning out your Plain Joe mug everyday. You don’t want to be presented with a pink slip and have to worry about spilling day-old coffee on your shit. At the same time, start packing up important personal items. Performance reports, copies of projects you and Plain Joe worked on.
2. Drink all the Plain Joe You Can.
Drink up and take any pain to the docs. Don’t worry about complications of Plain Joe and your acid reflux, stains on your teeth, or high blood pressure. Drink up now, and have the doc fill your medications before loosing benefits.
3. Network With Plain Joe.
Clearly, after the lay-off you’ll need to find another source of income. Start schmoozing up to fellow co-workers, clients, and friends by sharing Plain Joe with them. Our suggestion; order a gift pack with two Plain Joe mugs and whole ground beans.
4. The Hunt Is On!
In addition to updating your resume and keeping it clean of Plain Joe spills. Start searching the web for new job opportunities on sites like narms.com.
5. Get Caffeinated Up!
Anyone who’s been laid off can tell you that the day it happened they got that “vibe” from the office. Prepare yourself. Grab an enormous cup of Plain Joe, making sure it is steaming hot. Start chugging to get your heart rate up. In the event the HR people feed you lines of bull, keep your cup full so you can chuck Plain Joe at them. Always, stop and sip on your joe before signing any paperwork or agreements. You’ll need the time to fully asses your options and a cup of Plain Joe will provide that.
6. Plain Joe’s Exit Strategy.
After you’ve been canned, the single most important exit strategy will be grabbing all your Plain Joe beans. Don’t leave those jerks with a premium brew like Plain Joe. Instead switch it out with one of the other guys, like Folgers Decaf. They’ll miss you in the end!
