How Do I Bounce Back After My First Layoff? | S1E7 | New Here
8 Dec 2023
---
So you were laid off for the first time. How do you recover and move forward with your career? We’re told that layoffs aren’t personal. They’re a business decision. But that doesn’t make the emotions any easier to process as you figure out how to move on.
HR consultant Meloney Sallie-Dosunmu has laid people off, but she’s also been laid off. In this episode, she joins one of our own listeners, Nydia Bryan Martinez, who was laid off earlier this year. They tell host Elainy Mata how their experiences have changed their careers and their perspectives on work.
They also share how they recovered from the initial shock of being laid off, how they processed their emotions, and how they reframed their careers and moved forward. And they take listener questions about layoffs.

How the Unionization Trend is Changing Workplace Dynamics | HBR IdeaCast | PodcastUploaded 07-12-227 Dec 2022---For years, union membership has been shrinking in the United States and many other countries. But recently we’ve seen a resurgence, with employees in sectors like retail, hospitality, and media organizing to collectively bargain for better pay, benefits, and job flexibility. Thomas Kochan, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, has long studied how unions affect individual, team, and corporate performance. He explains why some fears about them are overblown, how workers form successful ones, and how leaders can partner with these groups to ensure the best outcomes for everyone.This episode originally aired on HBR IdeaCast on July 19, 2022.Listen to more HBR IdeaCast episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzAU8TPKsJuaxff5Cp0P2DKE_tFyaWOOaYou can also listen to this episode on HBR.org, and wherever you listen to podcasts: - HBR.org (transcript available here): https://hbr.org/podcast/2022/07/how-the-unionization-trend-is-changing-workplace-dynamics - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-the-unionization-trend-is-changing-workplace-dynamics/id152022135?i=1000570470888- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3IAsaiVXhClcCHMa3MjzGz?si=XaDqtw_kTwSbqcL-dS5oLA - Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/hbr-ideacast/episode/how-the-unionization-trend-is-changing-workplace-dynamics-205013140 - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL2ZlZWRzLmhhcnZhcmRidXNpbmVzcy5vcmcvaGFydmFyZGJ1c2luZXNzL2lkZWFjYXN0/episode/dGFnOmF1ZGlvLmhici5vcmcsMjAwNi0wNS0wODppZGVhY2FzdC4wODY3?sa=X&ved=0CAIQuIEEahcKEwiYxPjl4Nb7AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ Series Description: A weekly podcast featuring the leading thinkers in business and management.About Harvard Business Review: Harvard Business Review is the leading destination for smart management thinking.
