How Don Dodge Landed On His Feet After A Layoff

In my recent post How To Handle A Layoff In Style, I wrote about Don Dodge. Don was a long time Microsoft employee who was recently given a layoff notice.

And what did Don do after being let go? Far from lashing out at Microsoft, Don had only glowing things to say on his blog about his former employer and colleagues. In my eyes, it was the perfect way to handle the sudden loss of your job. No angry outbursts, no burned bridges, just a simple farewell.

So when I recently read Google scoops up ex-Microsoftie Don Dodge, I was thrilled. It just goes to show that you can quickly land on your feet after a layoff, so long as you don’t burn your bridges (especially in public).

Now Don can look forward to a new career at Google.

Congrats Don! Well done!
