Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea? after 8 years as a hotel front-desk agent

I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. It has been weighing on me all week. I want a plan before I speak. What did you say?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
