why they would not do that?
-- Once company decided a layoff, they will not change the plan unless they really need that person for short project which is good for the company (but not for the sike of that employee).
Is there a way to extend the time being employed?
-- As said above.
The situaton is that my friend already started looking and there is a highly possible positon. But the process won't be finished before the lay-off date.
-- This is perfect.
-- Get a lay off, get a big $$. Then get a new offer.
-- Many people want this kind of situation, but hard to get it.
If the lay-off date can be extended a little, then he will not face the problem endangering the new job.
-- What problem?
-- Why get a layoff in previous company can be a problem for the new company?
Otherwise losing the job after interview will be hard to explain.
-- Not need to do any explain.
-- Not need tell company A's story to compamny B.
-- Even tell the company story to company B, it is not a big deal.
Many thanks for any help!
人們要想得到工作的勝利即得到預想的結果，一定要使自己的思想合於客觀外界的規律性，如果不合，就會在實踐中 失敗。人們經過失敗之後，也就從失敗取得教訓，改正自己的思想使之適合於外界的規律性，人們就能變失敗為勝利，所謂“失敗者成功之母”，“吃一塹長一 智”，就是這個道理。
