Author Visit -- Betrayed by Work: Women's Stories of Trauma, Healing and Hope after Being Fired
Betrayed by Work: Women’s Stories of Trauma, Healing and Hope after Being Fired, by Julia Erickson MBA and Suzanne Vosburg PhD, offers practical job loss recovery tools for professional women. Erickson, an executive and career coach as well as a survivor of being fired, has coached many people who have experienced job loss. This and Vosburg’s long-held interest in workplace dynamics led to this book.
When women get fired, it is often devastating, traumatic, and isolating. How, then, does a woman navigate the emotional impact of this event? With other women. In Betrayed by Work, authors Julia Erickson, MBA, and Suzanne Vosburg, PhD, bear witness to the stories of working women who lost their jobs. Their stories describe what happened immediately and in the aftermath of being let go, validate women’s feelings about being fired, and offer a source of hope and companionship to women coping with their own job loss.
The book is also an excellent guide for people who know someone who has suffered sudden job loss. And it contains recommendations for employers who wish to end employment relationships more compassionately.
