Laid off this week, where do I start? - any advice?

They called a meeting on Monday and 4 of us were let go. I had been there 4 years. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I have not told my family yet. What did you do in the first week?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
