For all the people that don’t like your job, if you get laid off in the next 6-12 months will you stay within tax or try something completely different?

Curious why anyone thinks they’d be laid off with the staffing shortages as they are currently.

likesmart

Because people know there is a staffing shortage and don’t perform as well thinking they won’t get let go and lower performance because they also don’t like their job. Some firms are better off letting go of low performers even in this environment.

It’s hard to leave tax when it’s not on your terms. If I was laid off I would feel like I need to get another tax position to tide me over despite how much I loathe it. I’m in the process of thinking about what I really want to do with my life, if I’ll need more education and how to finance the switch.

I personally would not, my financial situation requires me to have a job, so I'd apply to whatever I think I can do. If I was better off I'd probably take more time to transition off to a different function.

I’m finding that a weird side effect of losing my job in this climate is ad agencies taking advantage of my weakened position. They get in touch, proactively or in response to my reaching out, and they want to hire me as they are in good shape. When I reveal I was laid off, the offer changes to freelance or maybe nothing. My work, awards, the fact that they know me and approached me in the first place should be enough. I don’t want to lie about my situation. Any ideas how to avoid this?
