Laid off this week, where do I start? after 3 years as an event coordinator

They called a meeting on Monday and 3 of us were let go. I had been there 3 years. It has been a long 19 weeks. 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.

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