So you just got fired. Advice from author Beth Solomon

Beth Solomon’s claim to fame, she told me earlier today, is getting fired from more jobs than anyone she knows. So she knows a bit about getting up, restarting and cranking away. (I, like many other Substackers, empathize with this and have even turned it into a strategic career decision.) Solomon started out as a journalist working with ABC News and Voice of America, then as a former speechwriter for former Sen. Sam Nunn, and later a host of C-Suite jobs — which she talks about with much levity and wisdom. You can pick up her book here [https://www.amazon.com/Fired-Fabulous-Professional-Fiascos-Success/dp/B0DLWVJ68S?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER] or your favorite local bookstore, it’s got a blend of some very amusing anecdotes (in hindsight) and practical advice on how to build a network for yourself, setting out on your own and putting on your gameface after receiving an HR-sterilized punch to the gut. ** Programming note: No 4p ET livestream today, doing some emergency HVAC work here at the house with some remote help from 24sight family member Sean Boston [https://substack.com/profile/78732253-sean-boston]. In case you missed it yesterday, here was my absolute laugh romp with The Julie Mason on SiriusXM Channel 124 [https://www.siriusxm.com/clips/clip/fb85ad68-4f10-4ec5-8eaa-4bcadea02446/500c8c31-5302-4cda-9bf5-675b5f9c6443]. Friends, support me with a paid subscription. It’s $5/month, $50/year. Your support keeps the lights on here, my family fed and even the heat on. It also frees me to work the field to bring back good reporting, from the Capitol to the mean streets of Washington, D.C. and beyond. And paying subscribers can sign up for a one-on-one 30-minute Zoom call with me. (Email - tom@24sight.news to schedule.) Some topics Solomon and I covered: * Navigating the jungle of workplaces and the cold realities of office and organizational politics * Why employers are so keen on new workers, and overlook dedicated employees — leading to high turnover * What are some options for workers who, having chosen careers in the Washington region for their stability, could now be facing the axe if the incoming president and his team follow through on their promises of mass layoffs. * Setting out on your own with the help of the internet * Handicapping votes in the U.S. Senate, as Cabinet nominees angle for big jobs, or are blocked This is a public episode.
