Layoff happened 5 days ago, feeling lost - 11 months and counting

They called a meeting on Thursday and 5 of us were let go. I had been there 5 years. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. Is there a checklist I should follow?

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

I made a short list: benefits, bills, documents, and then my résumé. One thing each day kept me steady.
