There is no one who understands the business of people who are laid off better than I do. Over thirty years, I have dealt with tax professionals who have been laid off for a wide range of reasons due to mergers, acquisitions, seasonal tax work, and a variety of other reasons. What I want to bring attention to in this blog post are the companies who get ripped off by outplacement firms; and the tax professionals who waste their time working with people who never really help them at all. With an average cost of $1000 to $3500 per person in an outplacement firm, it would be fine if it worked for tax professionals but I have yet to meet any tax professional helped by these services. The reason I know this is that thousands of tax professionals placed in outplacement programs have called me over the years for help and told me outplacement was of little to no help to them! What is the solution? What can a head of tax do if they are forced to lay off one or more people in their tax department? What is the nicest thing you can do for a tax professional when you must lay them off?
