Accept the helping hand if your former employer offers it
RETRENCHMENTS are unfortunately a reality in South Africa. Losing your job is stressful and can leave you feeling uncertain about your future and you will experience feelings of shock, disbelief and anger. Aside from a need to familiarise yourself with labour laws, it is also important that you understand the reasons behind your termination. If you have been retrenched, the organisation may offer you a variety of services to help you get back on your feet, it is advisable to use them.
STEPS TO TAKE
Although being retrenched is challenging, try to stay composed and professional at all times. The way you portray yourself during this difficult time will reveal a lot about your character. Maintaining a composed and dignified persona shows that you are not a victim and shows a level of maturity.
Financial accountant, Nomfundo Manci-Ring from Joburg, adds that it will be easier to maintain a positive relationship with your manager and colleagues going forward, which could be beneficial to you in future job search endeavours.
“Look at your monthly budget and consider cutting down on things that are not living necessities such as entertainment. Try to adjust to living below your means and explain to your family that things will not be the same,” she says.
Nomfundo says it is advisable to manage your finances and have a budget no matter your financial situation.
