Plant closing and notice period questions - 20 weeks in

My employer announced that the site will close and gave us written notice. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Some colleagues are already leaving.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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