Layoff happened 3 days ago, feeling lost - 3 months and counting

They called a meeting on Tuesday and 3 of us were let go. I had been there 3 years. I worked as an accountant before this. I have not told my family yet. Which steps were urgent?

File for unemployment right away. Do not wait for severance decisions. The date you file can matter.

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