A colleague, George, is losing his job. He's just turned 40. George has spent the past decade in service—across seven duty stations around the world, mostly with the United Nations. Being a UN worker has been more than just a job. It has shaped his identity, grounded his values, and defined much of his adult life.
The idea of stepping away from something he loves, something he's poured his heart into, is scary. George is taking practical steps: reviewing finances, restructuring loans, cancelling long-term commitments where he can. Still, it’s hard not to take this personally. Help George to navigate an unexpected transition.
