Plant closing and notice period questions - first time posting

My employer announced that the site will close and gave us written notice. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. They offered a retention bonus for people who stay. Should I stay for the bonus?

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

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