The emergence of the global, connected economy and flatter corporate hierarchies has threatened, and continues to threaten your job. Job loss ranks with the death of a loved one, divorce, and kidnap as one of life’s most traumatic events. The emotional “flooding” that accompanies job loss is enormous. Many traumatic events lead to others. Relationships are strained. Interpersonal problems increase exponentially. In extreme cases illness and even death can follow the loss of a job. This book is designed to help you anticipate, absorb, manage, and emerge from the personal crisis that is job loss.
