They say, “It’s not personal—it’s just business.” But what happens when it is personal?
In this raw and timely episode of the Love Monday Podcast, Ryan shares the heartbreaking story of his daughter, who was laid off from the company she had dreamed of working for since she was 13. Like so many others, she was told it wasn’t personal. But the impact on her health, identity, and sense of purpose said otherwise.
We dive into how corporate detachment has become the norm—especially in the years following the pandemic—and explore why that mindset is failing workers. From anxiety and burnout to the erosion of trust and loyalty, this episode highlights the real cost of treating employees like numbers instead of human beings.
You’ll hear:
- The silent toll of layoffs on health, relationships, and mental well-being
- Why “it’s not personal” is a cop-out—and how companies can (and should) do better
- Real data and stories from the front lines of modern work
- A challenge to leaders to rehumanize the workplace before it’s too late
If you’ve ever felt disposable at work, this episode is for you.
