The Company Men: A Sundance Film Festival Feature
A new film featured at the Sundance Film Festival, The Company Men, explores the psychological, emotional, and behavioral aspects of involuntary job loss. Though only the trailer is available at this time, it captures the devastating impact of involuntary termination.
I have just concluded my dissertation which addresses The Psychological Impact of Involuntary Job loss and the Process of Posttraumatic Growth. The research and findings will be made available through Gonzaga University. Five senior organizational leaders who had experienced involuntary termination were interviewed about their experience of termination. They described in detail the very difficult journey of this experience and how they have attempted to cope with the many losses as well as grow through what was and continues to be a traumatic experience.
