No book has existed, until now, to help women cope with the emotional and practical aftermath of being fired, a difficult, painful experience that can be so hard to cope with alone.
In response, coauthors Julia Erickson, MBA, '80, executive and career coach, and scientific writer Suzanne Vosburg, PhD, wrote Betrayed by Work: Women's Stories of Trauma, Healing and Hope After Being Fired - a collection of women's stories about trauma and recovery from being fired and their recommendations for more compassionate ways to end employment.
The book addresses the emotional aspects of being fired, offers practical help to deal with it and to heal and argues that while job endings are inevitable, they do not have to be traumatizing because of unnecessary dehumanizing cruelty.
Join Julie and Suzanne, as they highlight and discuss excerpts from the book in this powerful virtual event, co-sponsored by the Smith College Club of New York City and the Smith College Club of Watchung Hills.
