Bruce Razban: "Layoffs & Hope": Unemployed, Laid Off, or Stressed Over Potential Sudden Job Loss?

[razban01]

Go on with taking a baby step each day towards life, love, and career passion, and making it better for the others.

I heard of a University Graduate, hoinor graduate like myself, with $92,000 student loan and absolutely no job prospectives.

In the 12 step programs, there is an admission it was bad, then realization of hope, there is an inventory. I encourage people to make a list of all their jobs and write what they liked and what they di not. This gives them a pattern, and then we go on!

Dear Patricia Sahertian,

Thanks for your comment. I am grateful.

Of course, you are right. It is a damaging, hurting real thing. As Dr. Elizabeth Kubller-Ross and 12 step programs put it:

This pain and hurt is real. If we did not feel it, we would not be humanbeings!

Yet, my eight year research proves that the layoff business causes $2.4 Trillion Loss to our industry and there are better ways.

More in the next comment....I hope

Hello Bruce,

Thanks for the video response. I like some of your ideas, most importantly #8 "it's not your fault." The blow to one's ego is very strong in a layoff, and it is very easy to internalize and blame yourself.

My research also strongly indicated that the hurt tended to be more severs for those who were good at their worked and loyal and worked hard.

It feels like abadonment, desparation, fear, self-damnation, etc., etc.

The biggest mistake at this point is others telling us to "snap out of it" or "you can do it"!

I am not, and I cannot, and they do not understand!

Yet, life with its unlimited beauty and galmour goes on.

Let's accept that this has happened, painful, is not our fault, then go on.
