I have a ton of stuff in the pipeline at work and a lot of my best clients I consider personal friends. While I survived the latest round of layoffs this week, there's a very high chance I'll be canned next week when March's numbers come out. I'm expecting it to not be on good terms if it happens and not called a layoff. I know no one is irreplaceable, but I also know they're gonna have a hell of a time sorting out my accounts and territory without my help, maybe causing some clients to bolt to competitors. If I get canned with no severance, should I help out when they call to ask about accounts and deals in the works? Or just tell them to pound sand until they agree to pay me on a consultant basis?
