Layoff happened 15 days ago, feeling lost - 2 weeks in

They called a meeting on Thursday and 15 of us were let go. I had been there 15 years. There are 15 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have a box of my things and a short letter about benefits. What did you do in the first week?

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

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