On a recent Friday morning, Paul received an email from his firm's Executive Director asking him to meet with her in a conference room at 4PM. Paul, who worked for the firm the past six years, was a senior practice group manager in the Marketing Department. He asked if there was an agenda for the meeting or anything he needed to prepare. He was told no, just stop by at 4PM.
When Paul arrived for the meeting, the Executive Director started the meeting by asking him about his family and if he had a nice time on his recent vacation. This was unusual in itself, since the Executive Director never asked Paul about his personal life. Then she got to the point. Paul was being terminated. “It just isn't a good fit; we are moving in a different direction.” Paul was caught off guard and devastated. He had recently purchased a new home for his family and was their sole financial support. What was he going to do?

Try not to panic. It is natural to feel a range of emotions around the termination, including those similar to Elisabeth Kubler Ross's five stages of grief during a loss (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance). You may be angry one moment and sad the next. It's a good idea to allow yourself time to decompress and process your new situation.
