Layoff happened 8 days ago, feeling lost (update)

They called a meeting on Monday and 8 of us were let go. I had been there 8 years. I have not told my family yet. What did you do in the first week?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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