This How to Deal with Workplace Changes: When a Coworker Leaves course offers helpful advice on acknowledging your feelings and moving on after a coworker has been let go.

From there, we will discuss when and how to offer resources and help to your former colleague. We’ll also talk about what not to do, including why you shouldn’t make light of the situation, how to avoid gossip and how to make sure you don’t take out your feelings on the new hire.
