Laid Off: A Retrenchment Survival Guide

Sometimes everything around us falls apart to a level just enough to let us pick ourselves up together in a way we never imagined.

In this book I share my story.

Inevitably, when I suddenly became jobless after 3 years with a great employer, I was frightened. As a hysterical voice screamed in my head, it’s over! Its over! It seemed like the perfect opportunity to panic.

Moments ago I would have told you that I was going to spend the next 3 - 5 years at this job and then I’d call the 8 - 5 quits. 

And it wasn’t enough that just like that, I was now officially jobless. But for someone else to be so certain that it was the best decision, that hurt real bad. 

This was truly rock bottom.

How was my life going to be like after this? 

I had heard horror stories of people who had lost their jobs, couldn’t pay their bills or support their families and suddenly went into depression. 

I didn’t want to be one of those people.

I don't want you to be one of those people. That is why I want you to read this book.
