Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea?, welding apprentice here

    My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a welding apprentice. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. What did you say?

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

    Do not wait until a bill surprises them. The longer it goes, the harder it gets.
