Take These Steps -- On Stealth Mode

Work harder:  It will be noticed, and may make a difference. 

Update your resume and skills: Decide whether, if you were let go, you would look for a similar position or go in a new direction. 

Network: Put out feelers but keep it on the down low. While you have a job is the best time to network; look through your contacts and ask ‘How can I help this person?

Start saving: A layoff budget is the most important thing to have when planning your departure.

Use benefits: If you’ve been putting off a dreaded dentist’s appointment or doctor’s visit, do it now, while your company will still cover the costs.

Gather info: Quietly remove any email addresses, contact details, personal files, and belongings you’ll need (but be careful about removing private company data).

The Promotion

Haven't heard the movie "The Promotion"? It's a story of a man who just wanted to have this stability in life as he begin to form his own family, self-fulfillment and how to overcome those struggling days as he goes on with his journey.

The movie is quite good in perhaps uplifting one's desire to move on with his life, on coping with situations as you encounter different individual and dealing with your competitor for the job as what the main character encountered. Fine acting with the casts lead by Sean William-Scott. Politics, relationship with co-workers even a trouble sometimes are given in a dayjob, but what important is believing in yourself, do your tasks,and stick to the right thing. With that, your job promotion is not far away.
