Laid off this week, where do I start? - 15 weeks in

They called a meeting on Thursday and 9 of us were let go. I had been there 9 years. Thank you in advance. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. Is there a checklist I should follow?

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.
