The Layoff: What No One Teaches You — But Everyone Expects You to Know

Layoffs are difficult.Even when they’re framed as “organizational.”Even when someone tells you it’s not personal.Even when you understand the business reasoning.In this episode, I walk through what no one teaches you about navigating a layoff — from the moment the meeting happens, to the first 48 hours, to the uncomfortable in-between when you’re still expected to transition your work.We’ll talk about:• What to say in the layoff meeting• What questions you should ask (even if your brain goes blank)• How to maintain composure when your nervous system is reacting• What not to do in the first 24 hours• How to show up professionally while you’re still there• Protecting your reputation during transition• Separating your identity from your employment• And how to close a chapter with dignityA layoff is an interruption — not a verdict.You can grieve privately while behaving professionally publicly.You can feel shaken and still be steady.You can experience transition without letting it define you.If you’re navigating this right now — or want to be prepared in case you ever do — this episode will help you move forward with clarity, composure, and completion.the things no one teaches you…but everyone expects you to know.👉 What do you think of the podcast?👉 Shop Workplace 101 Hub Recommendations🔗 https://linktr.ee/workplace101hubThe Resume Strategy Guide - EtsyDisclosure:  Some links in my Linktr.ee are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them — at no extra cost to you.
