Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea?

    My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as an HR coordinator. Thank you in advance. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team.

    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.

    Shame is common after a layoff even when it is not your fault. Saying it out loud to one person first helped me.
