This CitySpeak podcast looks at the current fiscal crisis and its impact on municipal employees. By looking at where we've been the last 7 recessions, and where we're at today under COVID-19, we can take informed, proactive steps to succeed where we're going in our jobs next year and beyond. These are stressful times, and they may get worse, but just like Sully Sullenberger did in 2009, we want to "keep flying the plane", cool, calm, and collected, to ensure we all succeed. Many people in our community are counting on us. We've got this!
Municipal employees get nervous, anxious, and stressed about their jobs during times of fiscal crisis.
This episode of CitySpeak reminds you that this economic recession is "not our first rodeo". We've been here before, we got through the last one, and we'll get through this COVID-19 recession too!
By approaching the existing recession as a challenge to be overcome with creative solutions, we can take the "bad stress" that hurts us and turn it into "good stress" that energizes us. Proactive action gets us off our laurels and gets our creative juices flowing so we can survive and even thrive in our jobs during this fiscal crisis.
