How do I tell my family about the layoff? after 11 years as an IT help-desk technician

    I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. There are 11 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. How did you handle it?

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