Industry layoffs, what are people doing? (Richmond)

Three companies in Richmond cut staff in the same month. I worked as a retail manager before this. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. How did you choose?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
