Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea? - 24 weeks in

I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. Thank you in advance. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. How did you handle it?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

I told my partner the same evening with a simple plan: what happened, what I was doing and what I needed. It was a relief.
