When layoff hits you without warning, when someone decides your time at the company has expired, you often don't even see it coming. Your boss may shower you with praise, highlight how important you've been, and thank you for your accomplishments, but he never answers the crucial question: Why me? And above all: Why now? The next few days you find yourself trapped in a whirlwind of doubts, trying to unravel the real reason behind your dismissal. The causes that occur to you always seem exogenous, as if you were trying to protect yourself by looking for an external culprit to justify this injustice. This book confronts you with an inescapable reality: no one will come to rescue you. The only way out is to shorten the grief and begin to chart a new path. Through these pages, you will discover how to reinvent yourself professionally, design a successful strategy for your career, and rediscover a purpose that resonates with your values.
