So I think it's important about making yourself indispensable and actually doing good work.

Right.

But in terms of like prepping for a layoff, again, I think it's important to have that emergency fund.

Warn?

W-A-R-N.

WARN Notice, WARN Act.

It is basically any corporation with over a certain number of employees needs to give notice when they're doing a mass layoff.

Lots of companies try and skirt this by getting rid of like a slightly odd number below the threshold or giving just enough time, whatever, but just check.

I think it's important just to have an eye out and be like, oh wow, okay, like a lot of companies in the hotel and hospitality space are laying off a bunch of employees.

My employer's not on this list, but I might be soon.
