Layoff notice, what does the 60 days mean?

I received a formal notice about a mass layoff at my workplace. Any experience at all would help. Some colleagues are already leaving.

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.

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