From Alison and Dan’s reading list for this episode:
HBR: You’ve Been Furloughed. Now What? by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic and Becky Frankiewicz — “Ask yourself if your job is worth waiting for. Do you want to return to your pre-crisis life? If there is any inkling of doubt in your mind, there is no downside to applying for something new, and seeing what could materialize as a different future.”
New York Times: Google Rescinds Offers to Thousands of Contract Workers by Daisuke Wakabayashi — “Many of the contract and temp candidates who had agreed to work at Google before the pandemic took hold in the United States were let go without any severance or financial compensation. This came after weeks of uncertainty as Google repeatedly postponed their start dates during which time they were not paid by Google or the staffing agencies.”
LinkedIn Pulse: Embracing Uncertainty by Moshe Cohen — “Without definite answers, our decisions are only educated guesses, but incorporate our best ideas, wrung out through experimentation and vigorous debate. By accepting the idea that we might never know, we avoid the temptation of seeking simplistic truths and open our minds to alternative explanations, conflicting schools of thought, and novel solutions.”
HBR: 15 Rules for Negotiating a Job Offer by Deepak Malhotra — “Stay at the table. Remember: What’s not negotiable today may be negotiable tomorrow. Over time, interests and constraints change. When someone says no, what he’s saying is “No—given how I see the world today.” A month later that same person may be able to do something he couldn’t do before, whether it’s extending an offer deadline or increasing your salary.”
