Layoff happened 11 days ago, feeling lost

They called a meeting on Friday and 11 of us were let go. I had been there 11 years. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. Which steps were urgent?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
