Thank you so much for talking with me, @nerdseyeview.bsky.social and allowing me to continue to exorcise my unemployment demons. Love your podcast!
new episode of canned this morning with author @lizalterman.bsky.social we talk about the and the era of unemployment their family weathered.

"for me, it felt like it was happening in dog years."

it was great to talk with someone who's spent as much time thinking about getting canned as I do.
S1 E22 Editor, Writer, and Author of Sad Sacked - Canned: Conversations about Getting Fired
