The more your boss can empathize with the ramifications of letting you go over someone else, the more likely it will not be you getting the pink slip. And the easiest way to increase the empathy your boss has for you is to connect personally with your boss on as many points as possible. The more points of connectedness, the more fully you can put your boss in your shoes.

For example, if your boss knows you have three kids, aged 5, 8 and 10, that your wife’s name is Suzanne and you like to fish when you’re not working your butt off for the company, he or she will more likely connect and empathize with your situation over someone who might work just as hard but know very little about.
