"This produces an atmosphere of constant disruption and uncertainty for staff," says Stephen Heidari-Robinson, managing director of Quartz Associates.

China's Pop-Culture Crackdown Widens After It Hits Its Biggest Movie Star Reorgs of any kind tend to spark job-loss fears among employees, regardless of the company's stated purpose.

If your employer doesn't post them publicly, ask managers in areas that interest you. f y WSJ MEMBER MESSAGE WSJ Investigation: Hidden Interests Judge Rodney Gilstrap sets an unwanted record: most cases with financial conflicts in Reorgs can create rare opportunities, says Mark Murphy, CEO of Leadership IQ, an Atlanta leadership training company. He recommends getting involved by volunteering for a planning or project team. "Often, battlefield promotions will emerge," he says. Employees who help lead the changes may be the most visible candidates.

Magazine Sports Search a SHARE Karin Hurt was taken aback when her bosses at a previous employer offered her a major increase in responsibility, to head human resources for a $6 billion unit, with a modest raise during a merger. She was denied the new title that should have accompanied the job, however, because she wasn't able to relocate to the company's New York headquarters. f in "At first I was completely frustrated," says Ms. Hurt, who was a human-resources director at the time. She decided to accept the position because she knew it would help her learn and grow, and she's glad she did. "That job gave me a perspective and understanding of the business that became foundational to my career," Ms. Hurt says. One of the executives she worked with offered her a new position 12 years later managing a large call center, and she later moved up to managing a 2,200-employee sales division. Ms. Hurt also took advantage of the disarray. She saw a need for a new leadership-training program and laid plans before her bosses even asked for it. She credits good advice from a former boss: "Where there is chaos, seize control," says Ms. Hurt, CEO of Let's Grow Leaders, a Laurel, Md., training firm, and co-author of "Winning Well." Keeping your rsum up-to-date and maintaining an active network of contacts outside work can lend confidence during a reorg, Dr. Spreitzer says. Ms. Hurt recommends adopting what she calls a bags-packed attitude: "If this doesn't work well, I can always leave," she says. There is huge confidence and creativity that comes from not feeling trapped." If colleagues get laid off, be as helpful as you can and consider sharing access to your network, Dr. Spreitzer says. Ms. Mael once comforted a laid-off co-worker by offering to keep alive an initiative he cared about and update him on the results. If the ax falls on you, don't let it shake your confidence.

SHARE If the ax falls on you, don't let it shake your confidence. f y in Christopher Taylor, founder of Occupation Optimist, an Atlanta job-search strategy firm, had worked 10 years in sales for a big food company when his employer announced a reorg. Mr. Taylor's boss assured him that his job was safe. Soon after, he was summoned to an 8 a.m. meeting in a hotel conference room with three people he'd never met and handed a severance package. He was stunned, but framed the experience in a positive way: "I saw it as my chance to really figure out what I wanted to do with my life." Mr. Taylor spent the next several months networking and volunteering as a job-search coach. After a stint at a recruiting firm, he started his own coaching business doing work he loves-helping others find careers they enjoy. Former sales manager Christopher Taylor says being laid off in a corporate reorganization freed him to start his own job-search consulting firm.
