    They called a meeting on Tuesday and 17 of us were let go. I had been there 17 years. I worked as a school bus driver before this. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. What did you do in the first week?

    File for unemployment right away. Do not wait for severance decisions. The date you file can matter.

    Give yourself the first couple of days to be upset. I did, and then I felt able to plan.
