No. Actually you shouldn’t be worried about anything in life. Just live your life like there is no tomorrow. Forget worries and enjoy...work is a rubber ball. If you drop it or it drops itself - it WILL bounce back!

Teach me your ways

What can you do really about it? You can choose to not leave your current job.

Yes

The likelihood of being laid off mere weeks into a new role is extremely low.

Everyone should be worried about losing their job these days.

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Hello Fishes

What's the future of SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) I have been offered this role.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
