Scenario

When unemployment creates competition between supportive friends

My three closest friends from work and I all got laid off from the same company six months ago, and now our friendship feels awkward because we're all competing for similar jobs while trying to support each other. We're happy when one of us gets an interview but also quietly devastated, and no one wants to admit that.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

External circumstances have introduced rivalry into relationships built on mutual support, creating shame around natural but conflicting feelings.
