Layoff notice, what does the 60 days mean? - 14 weeks in

My employer announced that the site will close and gave us written notice. There are 18 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Some colleagues are already leaving. Has anyone been through this?

Start your search early. I wish I had begun the day of the notice.

The workforce board ran a rapid-response session for us with résumé help and information on benefits. Ask if yours will.
