I know this can be hard to believe but losing your job isn’t the worse thing in the world. You can take the time to take up that hobby you’ve always wanted or maybe start a career change. Assuming you have good money management skills, then you can do the above , if not, you’ll have to find a new job first to make sure you stay afloat.

Dear Bernie-

What a nice compliment! Thank you.

I don’t know how to get an article in a national magazine but – you know what? I just might try it!

I so appreciate your taking the time to comment!

Corinne,

Your article on Losing Your Job was a classic. The piece was pragmatic, practical,and purposeful. I encourage you to submit it to to a national magazine ala Time, Newsweek, etc. You have written an article that may help folks all over the United States. Your timing could not be better in times that are bad for ever so many…

Dear Donna -

Can they do that to you? Just lay you off? So sorry about the way it was done.
I like this quote from your remarks -

“Taking good care of myself makes me feel better. It’s also given me the opportunity to do something new, something I really enjoy and am passionate about. I’ve had a total change of lifestyle.”

Sounds like you came out of that trauma all for the better!

Thanks for stopping by and adding your thoughts. They are important.

I had got an injury and was off work for quite a while. I got fired because of it… and my employers didn’t even tell my co-workers and friends! The whole experience can really knock you back, and I think most people don’t realize that. I didn’t think it would have the impact on me that it has. I’ve been pampering myself by studying the health benefits of foods and herbs and cooking for myself (I’m a good cook – it’s a treat!) and eating really healthy, nutritious, tasty food. Taking good care of myself makes me feel better. It’s also given me the opportunity to do something new, something I really enjoy and am passionate about. I’ve had a total change of lifestyle.

I’m glad you took the time to think about this and write this article. I think it’s important, especially in these tough economic times, for people to have some coping mechanisms for this kind of trauma – because really it can be traumatic, especially for those of us who are older and have worked for years on establishing our careers.

Dear Irish Jewelry –

It might be a little indelicate to forward this article to someone who has not yet been let go – keep it handy just in case.

In this economy, it is always a good idea to be prepared.

Have you ever read my article -

That one you could pass on. Wrote it a long time ago and it still gets a lot of readers!

Dear Niccolo -

If you are self employed, no one can fire you! I have almost always been. I guess I don’t play well with others. I like it!

Problem is that you are the toughest boss you could have!

Who else checks their email at 3AM when you can’t sleep???

In the long run, it’s best to be self-employed, if you can manage it. It sharpens your wits, if nothing else.
