With concerns around layoffs and job security continuing to dominate workplace conversations, a Bengaluru man has advised corporate employees to use their weekends to build additional skills or explore an alternative source of income rather than spending the entire break relaxing.

“A two-day weekend comes, Saturday and Sunday, and all of us say, right, ‘Man, I’m so exhausted, and I can’t wait for the weekend! But to be very honest, looking at the job market, my suggestion to everyone is: don’t let your weekends go to waste. Those two days can change your life. During these two days, upskill yourself, or think about starting a side business, start setting it up. “You should have some side hustle or side business going on. Some extra skill that is completely contrasting to your current skill, like how I do photography, right? You should have one completely different skill. All of our jobs are unsafe, and we have to understand this as soon as possible.”
In today’s times, no one can say that your job is safe.
