Redundancy: The Afterlife - ZOOM meetup

Men's Redundancy Cohort

Three in 10 organisations expect to make redundancies over the next year, with large organisations more likely than smaller firms to cut staff numbers.

Recently, my employer cut 8% of the workforce and I myself got made redundant at the start of COVID along with half a million other Aussies.

This was a very emotional time in my life and was also going through a very rough breakup with my (now ex) partner, along with overcoming some significant mental health challenges.

I now see that period as a gift of infinite wisdom and learnings, helping me realize that we spend way too much time focusing on things outside our values.

Because I didn't know what my values were, it's extra tough when the things we spend the most time doing are pulled out from under us.

Jobs are only secure as long as our employer is making profits and outside of that, we're just a liability that can easily be shed through an email or Zoom call - like my comrades recently.

For me, I had questions like:

What do I do now?

Who can I speak to?

There's a lot of FUD (fear uncertainty & doubt) out there at the moment and it's hard to know what's coming next.

This group is created to provide a safe place for community support to the Australian men out there that have been made redundant any time since COVID hit in 2020.

If you know anyone or have any friends & family that have been made redundant, please share this group with them.

What:

Provide a safe, no-judgment space for men to share anything related to challenges faced at the moment as a result of their redundancy.

When:

Fortnightly on Mondays at 8pm.

Where:

Initially on Zoom with the potentiality for in-person.
