S2EP8｜失業了怎麼辦？我們聊聊在美國被裁員的真實經驗

在 S2 EP8 中，Jeff、William 和 Kevin 聊到一個很多人不想面對、卻可能在人生某個階段遇到的現實話題：失業。三人從各自的工作經驗出發，分享公司裁員、主管如何做去留決定、以及面對員工離職時的複雜心情。Kevin 也深入分享自己在美國大公司被 layoff 的親身經歷，從被叫進辦公室、看到 HR 的那一刻，到後來申請失業補助、食物券，以及重新找工作的過程。這一集不只是聊制度，更聊到中年男人把工作當成人生重心後，突然停下來時的迷惘、焦慮與自我調整。整集有職場現實、有制度資訊，也有 JW 1.5 Generation 一貫的幽默與真實。 In S2 EP8, Jeff, William, and Kevin talk about a difficult but very real topic: unemployment. Drawing from their own experiences, they discuss workplace layoffs, how managers decide who stays and who goes, and the emotional weight of letting people go. Kevin also shares his personal story of being laid off from a major U.S. company, from the moment he was called into the office and saw HR in the room, to applying for unemployment benefits, receiving food assistance, and trying to rebuild during the months that followed. This episode goes beyond policies and benefits. It also explores how, for many middle-aged men, work becomes a major part of identity, and how unsettling it feels when that structure suddenly disappears. The conversation is honest, insightful, and balanced with the humor that defines JW 1.5 Generation.
