Laid off this week, where do I start? (Richmond)

They called a meeting on Wednesday and 17 of us were let go. I had been there 17 years. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due.

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.
