    I lost my job as an electrician's helper and I am not sure what to do first. I am in Birmingham, in case local advice matters. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. 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.
