o Post: Mayor Proposes Tax Incentives to Keep LivingSocial in District

Washington, DC -- Aiming to keep daily deals company LivingSocial in DC for the long haul, Mayor Vincent Gray has proposed incentives that would save the fast-growing company as much as $32.5 million in taxes over a five-year period starting in 2015, The Washington Post reported. "LivingSocial is a very large part of the reason why other tech companies of all shapes and sizes have flocked to the District," said Gray in a statement. "We want to see that trend continue." The deal would need to be approved bythe DC Council. Tim O'Shaughnessy, the co-founder and CEO of LivingSocial, told the Post the incentives would be key to keeping the company in DC, given its expensive nature. "We'll make a commitment to the District if the District will make a commitment to us," he told the paper. LivingSocial currently has nearly 1,000 workers in its six DC offices, and expects to double that payroll in the coming years.

Not necessarily. Stephen A. Laser, a business psychologist and author of Out-of-Work and Over-40, suggests you need to take some time to regroup and make a plan.
