Layoff notice, what does the 60 days mean? - 8 months and counting

I received a formal notice about a mass layoff at my workplace. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. They offered a retention bonus for people who stay. What did the workforce office offer?

I stayed for the retention bonus and looked for work on the side. It cushioned the gap.

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