I've been with my company for six years and have been promoted four times during that time. The company is restructuring and my role no longer exists. Should I accept a lesser role or push for a package?

Laurie tells us we’re beautiful, I am pretty sure that is what this video is about.

Just kidding…

Amy and I ask the expert to help us with this leadership corner question — how do I decide between taking a package or taking a job I don’t want in a restructure.

This is something that so many people are forced to decide and we collectively weigh the pros and cons with a few key themes

  • We all agree you should bet on yourself

  • Negotiate - you have more options than you realize and you should not accept the binary you are presented.

  • We recommend you assess the situation not only from your own seat but from the lens of emerging opportunities.

  • Use your time wisely - build skills, assess the market opportunity.

  • Don’t forget healthcare costs, you can negotiate that as well.

  • Pre-mortems are very helpful (and they work!).

Give a listen and tell us what we missed (or how beautiful we are!). What tools do you use to help make big decisions like this.

** Typos and poor grammar either because I'm too lazy to edit properly, or to make you feel confident this was written by a flawed human and not AI generated.
