In this episode, Tarrah and Larissa have an unscripted conversation about the recent limited restructuring (LR), or layoffs, at their company. They reflect on the emotional impact it has had on them and their colleagues, discussing feelings of rawness, empathy for those affected, and the challenges of navigating uncertainty.
They share personal experiences and insights into coping mechanisms, such as holding space for those impacted, evaluating financial contingencies, and reframing the situation as an opportunity for growth and self-reflection. They emphasize the importance of articulating one's value, both for those remaining at the company and those seeking new opportunities elsewhere.
Drawing on their own experiences and resources like the "Clarity and Confidence" program by Kelli Thompson, they encourage listeners to recognize their unique strengths and communicate them effectively. Ultimately, they offer support and solidarity to anyone affected by the LR, pledging to help however they can and reminding everyone to embrace their multifaceted identities beyond their job titles.
