Navigating Redundancy, Uncertainty & Leadership in Tough Times
02/25/25 • 21 min
"An email. A meeting. The words, 'You can bring a support person.' Before anything is said, you already know—your job is gone."
Last week, many talented people in media found themselves out of work. Redundancies don’t just affect those being let go—they impact the colleagues left behind, the teams scrambling to adjust, and the leaders forced to deliver the news.
In this episode of the Thinking Cap Solutions Podcast, we break down what happens next:
✔ For those made redundant – Processing the shock, protecting your mindset, and rethinking your next steps.
✔ For employees still in the building – Dealing with uncertainty, avoiding workplace negativity, and future-proofing your career.
✔ For leaders – How to handle redundancies with empathy, honesty, and professionalism.
Corey Kay & Mickey Maher have been on both sides of this. There’s no easy way through it—but you don’t have to do it alone.
