Just got laid off, what should I do first? - what worked for you?

They called a meeting on Friday and 7 of us were let go. I had been there 7 years. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. Which steps were urgent?

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

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