Just got laid off, what should I do first? - 12 weeks in

They called a meeting on Tuesday and 18 of us were let go. I had been there 18 years. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I have not told my family yet. What did you do in the first week?

I made a short list: benefits, bills, documents, and then my résumé. One thing each day kept me steady.

Ask for your final pay, unused leave and any documents in writing before you leave, if you still can.
