(917) 447-1815When I lost my breadwinning job in 2009, I was frozen with worry, despite not being surprised the layoff happened.
But here is the thing…
I freaking hated that job. I won’t go into the list of reasons why I hated that job, but trust me…I hated that job.
But I made great money…so I dealt with it.
Hence the term “Battle Pay” … I was paid a lot to go into battle dealing with a mentally abusive, narcissistic boss each day.
I had in my mind, “I’ll make it work…”
I was an “I can make anything work” kinda girl, ya know.
So the bottom line was I would have probably never quit (and I don’t say this proudly…In retrospection, I had a high tolerance for toxicity and abuse…and I have since healed quite a bit…)
So yeah, I would have never quit.
As a result, I started to realize my layoff was the universe doing for me what I couldn’t do for myself:
It got me out of that damn job.
I would have never quit, most likely.
So the universe took care of it.
And as a result, long story short, I had time and space to get mentally healthier and start Chameleon. And the story writes itself from there.
This 2009 layoff is where I really started to hone in on reframing things…I began to learn it during the 2001 downturn. I was in running a Downtown NYC staffing office…but I definitely got much better at reframing situations in 2009.
And so, I will share 4 scenarios with you in this video: 4 Executive Job Search Scenarios Reframed For Hope.
