There are many people around the country doing it tough right now, as unemployment continues to rise.
The latest data from Stats NZ showed the unemployment rate jumped from 4 percent in December to 4.3 percent - that's 134,000 people out of work. That data didn't include some of the more recent announcements of public service cuts.
So what happens if you're among those affected - have lost your job, or are among those who might be cut? And what happens if you're still with a company or organisation but your colleagues have gone? And how is company culture affected when there have been job losses?
