Welcome to episode nr 15 of The Coffee Journeys Show: Coping with Layoffs: Different Perspectives and Practical Tips

In this episode, Piotr explores the often painful and challenging experience of layoffs and job rejection, asking whether there's any good that can come from such situations. Drawing from personal experience in the tech industry, Piotr shares how being rejected for a job opportunity ultimately led to a more fulfilling career path.

The episode delves into the harsh realities businesses face in balancing revenue and costs, with people often being one of the highest expenses. Sometimes, layoffs are the only option for a company to stay afloat. While it may feel personal, the host emphasizes that it's not about the individual; it's a necessary decision for the business.

However, the episode also acknowledges the personal impact of such situations. It discusses the emotional toll and the need to cope with job loss, emphasizing that work should never define one's entire life. Instead, the host encourages listeners to connect with loved ones and nurture their support networks.

Practical advice is also offered, including the importance of networking and maintaining valuable connections, as well as preparing for the next career move. The episode concludes by teasing a mini-course designed to help those navigating job changes, promising an interactive checklist, an e-book, and a newsletter filled with additional tools and information.
