The Layoff Trilogy 1: Layoff Girl

When Yowei Shaw got laid off from NPR, she didn't just feel bad. She was confused by how bad she felt and how long the bad lasted. So Yowei does what she usually does in a situation like this - she reported on her feelings. Then things go left.   From the episode: Learn more about Ofer Sharone and his work: www.umass.edu/social-sciences/about/directory/ofer-sharone Ofer Sharone's book The Stigma Trap: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-stigma-trap-9780190239244?cc=us&lang=en& --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proxy is an independent podcast and we rely on listeners.
