Feeling uneasy at work? Wondering if it’s time to move on—or ride it out?

In this episode of Work in Progress, CJ and Larone break down how to recognize the signs that your job (or your entire industry) might be in trouble, and how to pivot strategically before you’re forced to.


From hiring freezes and corporate “efficiency” talk to LinkedIn presence and documenting your wins, this episode is full of real talk, practical tips, and career survival strategy—especially for folks in higher ed, government, or tech.


We cover:


  • The biggest red flags that layoffs may be coming

  • How to prep your resume before you need to

  • Ways to use LinkedIn without being cringey

  • Career pivots without going back to school

  • The emotional side of letting go or staying put



Whether you’re already job searching or just trying to stay ready, this conversation will help you think sharper, act faster, and protect your peace.
