Thanks for listening.

Hey, TED Talks Daily listeners, I'm Elise Hu.

Today, we have an episode of another podcast from the TED Audio Collective, handpicked by us for you.

It's unfortunately a part of the news cycle that doesn't seem to end.

Mass layoffs.

When an organization lays people off, those who remain are often scrambling to find their footing in an environment that no longer feels stable.

So today we're sharing a 2025 episode from our show Fixable, where hosts Frances Fry and Anne Morris try to set the record straight about what layoffs mean for an organization and the responsibility leaders have to own what went wrong.

Whatever you're dealing with at work, Fixable is there to help, offering actionable insights to create meaningful change in your life and workplace.

Listen to Fixable wherever you get your podcasts.

And if you have a problem you want fixed, call their hotline at 234-FIXABLE.

That's 234-349-2253 to leave Anne and Francis a voicemail with your workplace problem.

Design researcher Virginia Santee has a simple but surprisingly profound question.

Do you feel comfortable and safe in your chair, in your car, and generally in your surroundings?

That's Virginia speaking from the TEDx stage in 2022.
