Denis in the Globe

Abuzz-in-law Denis O’Connell is featured in one of our BostonWorks stories in the Globe this Sunday.

Denis O’Connell took that advice. Laid off from his job at a company building websites for packaged goods companies at the end of January, he considered taking a few months off. If the layoff notice had come this spring, he might have taken the whole summer off. But he saw what could happen if he went that route.

‘’I had some friends who got laid off two or three years ago,'’ he recalls. One of them said, ‘I’m definitely going to take some time off. I’m not going to go to work until I get done with my severance.’ He ended up not being able to find a job for over a year.'’
