    They called a meeting on Thursday and 11 of us were let go. I had been there 11 years. Any experience at all would help. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. Is there a checklist I should follow?

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

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