Layoff happened 3 days ago, feeling lost - any advice?

They called a meeting on Thursday and 3 of us were let go. I had been there 3 years. Any experience at all would help. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. What did you do in the first week?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

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