Laid off this week, where do I start? after 9 years as a sales associate

They called a meeting on Wednesday 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 not told my family yet. Which steps were urgent?

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

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