Layoff happened 13 days ago, feeling lost

They called a meeting on Thursday and 13 of us were let go. I had been there 13 years. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. What did you do in the first week?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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