Brenda Peterson, The Layoff Lady
Biography
Hi, all. My name is Brenda L. Peterson.
A long time ago in what feels like a galaxy far, far away, my paycheck from a struggling little tech start-up—one that doesn’t exist anymore—bounced.
Soon after, I took a new job with a large, established company. A few months in, the CEO retired, then a national tragedy rocked the country and sucker punched the economy.
One non-descript day in October, I went to work expecting a day full of not-particularly-exciting meetings. Instead, I found myself home early toting a white bankers box containing all of my formerly workly possessions and a document explaining how that job wasn’t mine anymore.

Before then, the idea that my job might just up and ending one day was outside my realm of possibility.
All told, I’ve had a grand total of seven workdays that started with lots of obligations, then quickly evaporated into unemployment.
To learn more about my story--and how to manage your anxiety around being newly laid off, your job transition, or your desire to build your own career resilience in case it happens to you--join me as I share my lessons learned from being a part of this circus many, many times.
