My point of view...job loss.

...but people who are winning at working understand, some things they can control and some they can't. They focus on the ones they can.

People who are winning at working may not control if they're only working one day a week, or 40 hours a week, but they do control whether that one day of work is exceptional. Exceptional service brings bigger tips, better compliments, and more good feedback to the bosses.

You may not be able to control if your job gets cut, but you can control whether you're a high performer who your boss is fighting to keep. You may not be able to control how quickly you get another job, but you can control the number of daily contacts you make in your search and how you "show up," future-focused, at the interview. You may not be able to control the amount of work you get, but you do control whether you're responding as a victim or taking action toward developing your skills and contacts for a new future.

People who are winning at working ascribed to composer Irving Berlin's philosophy, "Life is 10 percent what you make it, and 90 percent how you take it," he said. This is a pretty good time to be focusing on that ninety percent.
