With an overwhelming amount of Linkedin Status's/Inmails/New Connection Requests I've been receiving of those seeking new opportunity in current scenario is no less than a pain to see the best talent going in a dark hole. I know there are are lot of disappointing statuses being posted about the worst recession and worst top management decisions and all that kind of thing. And hence, I am taking this opportunity to share my thoughts on how we can use this as a period to "Re-Invent Ourselves" instead playing accusations and blame games.
