Redundancy stories. #careercoach #careeradvice #jobsearch #jobseeker #careergrowth
In this candid monologue, Chloe Spillane recounts the day she was made redundant, describing how her former employer rushed her out, concealed the redundancy by claiming she was moving to another company, and discouraged her from discussing the situation on LinkedIn. She uses the experience to argue that employee loyalty is illusory; organizations prioritize cost‑saving over long‑term commitment, even to long‑standing staff. Spillane advises professionals to adopt a selfish, self‑serving mindset: constantly evaluate whether a role aligns with personal goals, leave if it does not, and never stay out of perceived loyalty. She stresses the importance of becoming versatile and continuously upskilling so that one becomes an indispensable asset. She also recommends leveraging LinkedIn after redundancy to attract new opportunities, despite employer push‑back. The overall message is to put one’s own career first, build a diverse skill set, and treat employment as a personal, not mutual, relationship.
