When it happened to me, coming up to 5 years ago, I was mortified. Humiliated even. How could it happen to me. I was the person who worked hard, was focused delivered, and yet the business no longer wanted me. Enter shame spiral. I had equated my self worth with my job title. According to studies 44% of people will get made redundant at som point of their careers, yet despite the likelihood of this happening, redundancy is still shrouded in shame and embarrassment.  This weeks ‘Why aren’t we talking about this’ episode with Jarrod Cocksedge is talking about Redundancy. How for many people the experience is akin to grief, how LinkedIn is the last place you should be hanging about on and how to use it as a reframe and reset. It’s raw and frank and for anyone who is in the middle of it, hopefully it shall give you some comfort and support.--- Why Aren’t We Talking About This? is a series of honest conversations about the stuff we rarely discuss but probably should - big feelings, weird thoughts, life, death, and all the messy, beautiful parts of being human. Hosted by me, Carly Osman-Holme, on a quest to dodge a full-blown existential crisis. I’ve reached that point in life where I’m asking the big questions: How did I get here? What do I actually want? And why didn’t they teach us any of this in school?
