Just got laid off, what should I do first? - 4 weeks in

I lost my job as a line cook and I am not sure what to do first. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have not told my family yet. Which steps were urgent?

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.

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