Are You Fungible? (Hint: You Don’t Want To Be In Today’s Labor Market)

When talking about an employee’s value and contribution to a company, the word “fungible” describes those who are “virtually indistinguishable from others”.

Basically, if you are fungible you are just another average worker. An in this current job market, you don’t want to be average. Why not? Surely you’ve heard about the all the layoffs that are occurring right now. The people who are being laid off are the ones who are average… AKA fungible.

Management teams are having conversations about which employees are bringing value to the organization and which ones are not. If you want to avoid lay offs as much as you possibly can, you need to become indispensable (not fungible).

Here’s how to determine if you are fungible and what you can do to become indispensable instead!

Here’s what’s going on in the news (related to careers of course):

• These side hustles are in-demand right now.

• Tired of inflation? You’re not the only one.

• Here’s why tech companies have been conducting lay offs.
