Unexpected terminations via email or remote lockouts are occurring among US workers, including federal employees. A digital go bag stores critical work documents and information that employees should download and back up in advance. Create the go bag by identifying essential files, choosing update frequency, and setting recurring reminders to keep the collection current. Save one copy locally and at least one backup off-device, such as cloud storage. Avoid downloading every change; adopt a sustainable update schedule. A first go bag serves as a test run to time how long it takes to locate, export, and open files to verify integrity.
Getting fired by email or by being locked out of your work laptop is not normal. And yet it's happening to US workers who have few rights and protections under the law. Even federal government employees who formerly had some of the most secure jobs and strong unions are getting axed without warning. You may not be able to protect yourself from an unexpected job loss, but you can make sure that your most important information doesn't get held hostage by your former employer.
To do that, you need a digital go bag. What Is a Digital Go Bag? A digital go bag or virtual go bag is an electronic version of a traditional go bag -a bag you pack ahead of time that has everything you need in case you have to leave in a hurry-and it's meant specifically for work. If you got laid off or fired without notice, what documents and information would you most want to keep hold of?
