32-year-old Lin Xiaoman received a layoff notice in the morning. While packing her desk, she found receipts for the sugar-frosted sesame cakes she’d bought for colleagues over three years, the stomach-nourishing tea her mom sent weekly, and an unsubmitted project plan—something she’d stayed up three nights to finish, hoping to save her dad with cancer.
