You head into work one day early to get a jump on the day. Your boss calls you into his office before anyone else arrives. He has his computer open with his boss on video chat.

You get a bad feeling in your stomach as you close the door behind you.

The conversation begins as your boss reads from a piece of paper. Your throat closes as he informs you that you are being laid off because the company you work for was purchased.

You don’t know what to say or how to react.

You wanna scream.

You wanna cry.

You wanna lash out.

But you don’t.

I took in what they were telling me while trying not to freak out in front of them. I don’t remember much of the conversation after that but they both told me I was handling this news well.

Now I am not the first nor will I be the last person to receive this news from a company.

So back to the question what do you do when this happens?
