Layoff happened 4 days ago, feeling lost - 10 months and counting

They called a meeting on Tuesday and 4 of us were let go. I had been there 4 years. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. Is there a checklist I should follow?

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

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