The Stages of Job Loss Part Two

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 08:01:00 -0000

The sluggish employment landscape explains why workers are now “job hugging,” rather than job hopping. The challenge is to fight the urge to hunker down and instead try to be proactive and focus on what you can control.

That means raise your hand for any new opportunity at your company, update your LinkedIn profile/fire up your network, and consider pursuing any side hustle that might help your cash flow and spark creativity.

For those who have been unlucky enough to lose a job, know that the loss is not just financial. I reached out to business Psychologist and Executive Coach ⁠Dr. Sharon Melnick, PhD⁠, after talking to a variety of folks who were let go recently.

The author of two best-selling books, ⁠In Your Power⁠ and ⁠Success Under Stress⁠, Sharon joins us this weekend to discuss the various stages of job loss.

The Wealth Ladder With Nick Maggiulli

The book is not a get-rich-quick scheme or a one-size-fits-all solution to your money problems. It’s a new philosophy for thinking about money altogether, and it breaks wealth into six distinct levels, each demanding its own strategy. What works at Level 1 won’t cut it at Level 6, and vice versa.
