 In this special episode of Sweet on Leadership, Tim tackles the current wave of layoffs in the US and crossing the border into Canada, emphasizing that this is not business as usual. He speaks directly to those who have lost their jobs or fear they might be next. The recklessness of recent mass layoffs, particularly in public sector roles, is top of mind. Tim tells us that these cuts are not about efficiency but rather a dismantling of essential institutions. He also critiques the private sector’s rollback of DEI and people-first initiatives, companies that once championed employee well-being but are now abandoning those commitments. Real leadership requires clear thinking, alignment, and intentional action—not reactionary decisions that leave employees scrambling.To navigate these uncertain times, Tim provides a simple four-step action plan: reframe the situation by writing down your fears and aspirations, identify transferable skills (beyond just polishing a résume), activate your network with a professional and strategic approach, and sharpen your confidence and sense of worth daily. Job seekers need to treat their search as a full-time role, maintaining productivity and resilience even while processing emotions. Tim’s message is clear—while layoffs are often beyond control, how you respond can shape your future. Leaders, whether guiding a team or their own career, need to take charge, adapt, and move forward with purpose. —Contact Tim Sweet | Team Work Excellence: WebsiteLinkedIn: Tim SweetInstagramLinkedin: Team Work ExcellenceDOWNLOAD THE COMPANION JOB HUNT WORKBOOK HERE--TranscriptTim 0:00We're not living in normal times. If anything this past week has taught me, it's that it is not business as usual. This is a special edition of Sweet on Leadership, one that's inspired by the thousands of professionals who I am seeing abruptly cut loose without a plan and forced to navigate uncertainty in their career overnight. I feel positioned to be able to help, and so I want to take this episode to do that. Maybe that's you. Maybe it's somebody you know. Maybe it's someone you lead. If it is, please listen carefully, because today we're going to talk about what's happening, and more importantly, what to do about it. I'd like to ask you some questions. Do you consider yourself the kind of person that gets things done? Are you able to take a vision and transform that into action? Are you able to align others towards that vision and get them moving to create something truly remarkable? If any of these describe you, then you, my friend, are a leader, and this show is all about and all for you. Listen and you'll walk away with clarity, control, and a strategy to move forward. If you don't listen, you might just find yourself reacting to the storm instead of learning how to weather it and come out stronger. Even if you have a job today, even if you are not one of the ones that were cut, do yourself the favor of having a plan. I'm Tim Sweet. Welcome to a special episode of the Sweet on Leadership podcast. This is episode 52.Tim 1:30If you're from the US, you may be feeling this firsthand. The recent moves made unilaterally by the executive office by the President, moves that may yet be proven to be illegal, have upended lives overnight. And here in Canada, we're not immune. We might feel the heat very soon as economic pressures mount and as unintelligent decisions seem to migrate north, carried on the winds of bad leadership and worse policy. And no matter where you are, one thing is clear—when chaos happens, we have two choices. We can react and panic and fail and fall down and get tired, or we can adapt and we can lead, not necessarily for others, but at least for ourselves. So today we're going to talk about how to do the latter. This abrupt demobilization of public sector departments is extreme, so let's talk about some of the numbers. In just the past month, 220,000 odd federal employees, many with less than a year on the job, are gone. Poof, overnight. For instance, the Department of Veteran Affairs, 1000 layoffs. You want to tell me that that is all fat that needed to be trimmed? The US Forest Service, 3000 workers cut right before peak wildfire season, right after the worst fire season on record. And let's not forget about the air traffic controllers and what we've seen happening there, despite being dangerously understaffed and woefully overworked even before the current president's inauguration, they were handed even more responsibilities and a bunch of distraction as people were cut, others were offered job payouts, all of them are feeling the pressure. That's not efficiency, that's just reckless. That's cutting the engines mid flight and acting surprised when the plane starts to go down. This isn't restructuring; it's dismantling. It's something we haven't seen before on this scale. A business can cut jobs and streamline. Why? Because essentially, they are an autocracy. A country, a ...
