Jennifer Tesler has it pretty good. She has a handsome husband who treats her like a queen, three amazing children any parent would be proud of, and a high-powered job that finances her luxurious lifestyle.
But when she receives a pink slip from the Silicon Valley giant she works for, Jennifer's smooth ride through life is brought to a screeching halt. Suddenly, the fifteen years she invested in the company seem meaningless. Her family has lost its breadwinner, and Jennifer has lost her identity.
For the next two years, she struggles to find another job, ward off creditors, and keep from losing her home and her marriage. And, like so many other Americans hit by the Great Recession, she also struggles each day to maintain her sense of self-worth in the face of hundreds of rejections.
A poignant story infused with humor and hope, Pinkslipped speaks to the millions of people whose lives have been affected by the recent economic downturn. Truly a book for our time, it will touch your heart, make you laugh, and inspire you to look at your own life from a refreshed perspective.
