Episode Summary:

In this episode of The Glass Sessions, Courtney and Lauren discuss our experience navigating the emotional and practical realities of layoffs and restructuring, and offer practical advice for anyone going through the same thing.

We discuss:

• How do you spot early signs of instability at work?
• What steps should you take before things go south?
• When and how you should update your LinkedIn profile and resume, and start reaching out to your network

We discuss how to stay financially prepared, managing the mental load of job insecurity, and deciding whether to tell your current employer you're job hunting.
