How Will I Survive Getting Fired?



On What’s Your Work Fit we pose this viewer question: How Will I Survive Getting Fired?

Answering that question and others is our guest, Christian Stein.

Christian is a global ad agency guy turned brand transformer and therapist at his company, Stone Owl Consulting.

This week’s lead question was posed by What’s Your Work Fit? viewer Ryan:

At the beginning of Fourth Quarter 2023, Ryan was let go from his senior marketing manager job at a large regional home repair services company. He’d worked hard to advance his career and he seemed to be on track for a big promotion before the end of the 2023 fiscal year.

But now as a corporate cast-off he has no idea of what to do next and his self-confidence has taken a big hit. What is more, Ryan is feeling pressure to reconnect with a job (any job) because his cash-reserves likely won’t last more than six months.

Now Ryan asks: how will I survive getting fired?

During this information packed episode, we discover Christian’s answer to the question “what’s your work fit?’ His personal vision surely will resonate with many career professionals.

Our guest is Mike Faber.

Mike is a veteran learning and development professional who designs and facilitates leadership and training programming for sales professionals.

Over five years on-the-job, What’s Your Work Fit? viewer Helen immersed herself in her work and workplace. Last month she was laid off.

And management assured her that her severance was not due to a performance issue, but rather for broader corporate-wide cutbacks. During her tenure, she never considered the possibility of a layoff. And now she’s wondering: how do I turn my layoff into a career advantage?

During this information packed episode, Mike also answers “what’s your work fit?’ His personal vision surely will resonate with many career professionals.
