It was a hard day for Matthew Sciannella: He was officially getting divorced.
After 12 years of marriage and multiple children, he and his wife had drifted apart during the pandemic. In early 2021, they decided to call it quits. As the Washington, DC-area marketing executive grappled with the realities of being suddenly single again, he told his friends, he journaled about it, and he told his family. And then he told LinkedIn.
"I'm getting a divorce. God it sucks to write that," Sciannella shared with his several thousand professional connections.
