The Change Curve

For anybody who has spent time working within an organisation of a certain size, it's likely you'll have come across the Kübler-Ross Change Curve at some point. It tends to rear its head in times of large change within a company as a way of helping people to realise that one day, with a bit of luck, they'll actually feel ok about being made unemployed.

For anybody who hasn't heard of Kübler-Ross specifically, the concept is likely something you will be familiar with. Denial. Acceptance. Gan radge. It's also closely associated with the stages of grief. The idea that you're on an emotional journey of sorts where you will, eventually, learn to accept being made redundant and/or the recent passing of a loved one.
