The Stages of Job Loss
27/11/2025 Duration: 43minThe sluggish employment landscape explains why workers are now “job hugging,” rather than job hopping. The challenge is to fight the urge to hunker down and instead try to be proactive and focus on what you can control. That means raise your hand for any new opportunity at your company, update your LinkedIn profile/fire up your network, and consider pursuing any side hustle that might help your cash flow and spark creativity. For those who have been unlucky enough to lose a job, know that the loss is not just financial. I reached out to business Psychologist and Executive Coach Dr. Sharon Melnick, PhD, after talking to a variety of folks who were let go recently. The author of two best-selling books, In Your Power and Success Under Stress, Sharon joins us today to discuss the various stages of job loss. Have a money question? Email us here
