Q: My brother-in-law was laid off from his job recently. I’ll be seeing him soon for the first time since the pink slip. Do I ask how his search is going?
A: Express your concern during a moment alone: ”Tim, I was so sorry to hear about your job loss. I’m sure there’s another opportunity around the corner. But I wanted you to know I’ve been thinking about you.” Then let him guide the conversation. If he says “Thanks. I’m glad to have a chance to forget that and now enjoy the weekend,” change the subject! He’ll know you’re interested if he ever wants to talk.
