Laid off this week, where do I start? - what worked for you?

They called a meeting on Tuesday and 15 of us were let go. I had been there 15 years. I have not told my family yet. What did you do in the first week?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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