Laid off this week, where do I start? - first time posting

They called a meeting on Friday and 8 of us were let go. I had been there 8 years. I have a box of my things and a short letter about benefits. 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.

Give yourself the first couple of days to be upset. I did, and then I felt able to plan.
