COVID revealed how vulnerable lean/JIT inventory processes were to supply-chain perturbations...how unexpectedly difficult recovery from such disruptions can be...and how essential planned redundancy is. Looking at the waves of layoffs rippling through the agency sector just now, I wonder when our industry will learn the same lesson about lean/JIT staffing.

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?
