Plant closing and notice period questions after 12 years as a paralegal

My employer announced that the site will close and gave us written notice. They offered a retention bonus for people who stay. Has anyone been through this?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 12 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
