Just got laid off, what should I do first? - any advice?

They called a meeting on Monday and 4 of us were let go. I had been there 4 years. I am in Denver, in case local advice matters. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. What did you do in the first week?

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

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