A Quick Personal Update From Kelly

In this short personal update, Kelly shares why I Used To Work There was unable to release a new full episode on its regular every-second-Thursday schedule.Kelly is coming to you from the Stollery Children’s Hospital, where his one-year-old son, Foxx, is currently fighting cancer. The family has not been home in a week, and they are still taking things one day at a time as they support Foxx through the beginning of this fight.The show is not stopping. Kelly plans to continue releasing episodes as close to the regular schedule as possible, but for the next few weeks, the show will need support from the I Used To Work There community.If you are sitting on a work story, now is the time to send it in.For the time being, storytellers are being asked to self-record their stories as voice memos and email the audio file to:hr@iusedtoworkthere.comRecord your story on your phone in a quiet room and tell it like you are talking to a friend. It does not need to be perfect. Natural is better.Please include:What happenedWhere you were working generallyWho was involved generallyWhy it was memorableHow it endedIf your story is negative, sensitive, embarrassing, or could reflect poorly on a workplace or individual, please do not name the company, workplace, coworkers, managers, customers, or anyone directly involved. You can describe the setting generally, such as a restaurant, construction site, retail store, corporate office, hotel, or wherever the story happened.The show will return to interviews in a few weeks, but voice memo submissions will help keep the stories moving during this difficult season.If you would like to support Kelly, Shelby, and their family directly as Foxx fights cancer, a GoFundMe has been created here:https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-shelby-kelly-during-foxxs-fight-against-cancer/cl/s?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp20_control&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US&attribution_id=sl%3A7af964c5-fe12-4830-9f1b-c42fee0f5602&ts=1785115627⁠There is absolutely no pressure to donate.
