According to Business Insider, Kalish awoke at 6:30 am to see if she had gotten the letter of termination. Kalish said, “I checked my phone really quickly. It was a long email, but to be honest, I didn’t get past the first few sentences, because that’s where it had stated that I was part of the layoffs.”
“I kind of just like turned off my phone. I called my husband and he and my kids came in,” she said. “They kind of like jumped on me and gave me a hug,” she added. Later, Kalish informed her youngest daughter that she had lost her job. To which the daughter asked why they fired and her but later said that she was happy she could spend more time with her mother. “Yay! Now you can spend more time with me,” the daughter remarked.
