Laid off this week, where do I start? after 9 years as a project coordinator

They called a meeting on Monday and 9 of us were let go. I had been there 9 years. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have a box of my things and a short letter about benefits. 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.
