summary
Opens with a concrete layoff: a 15‑minute calendar invite turns into “paid but non‑working” status and months of job hunting, then shows how to limit that blast radius with specific tactics — use a financial planner or savings plan, keep a ready resume, do interviews while employed, diversify by industry or role, and build visibility via teaching, conference talks, blogs and internal habits like introduce yourself in all‑hands. Adds practical tools: YouTube learning, meditation apps, regular networking and an intentional board of advisors to accelerate rehiring.
