What’s Going On?
Experiencing a layoff is consistent with the feelings that accompany a death, divorce or serious illness.
Job loss has a profound effect on the emotional well-being of both those that lose their job and those that do not.
Those that keep their jobs can suffer their own symptoms; guilt, loss, grief, sadness and fear.

What Not To Say
When others approach you with their concerns and questions these phrases can increase stress:
“Don’t worry, your job is safe”“It will all work out”“There won’t be any more layoffs” “I’m too busy to talk with you”
Taking part in speculation or gossip increases stress. Be careful not to advise others about their options.
