    They called a meeting on Thursday and 14 of us were let go. I had been there 14 years. I am in Madison, in case local advice matters. I have not told my family yet. 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.

    Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
