Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot? (update)

Three companies in Louisville cut staff in the same month. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have transferable skills but no direct experience elsewhere. Who has switched fields?

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

I moved into operations work. The skills carried over and there were more openings than in my old field.
