Plant closing and notice period questions - what worked for you?

My employer announced that the site will close and gave us written notice. I do not usually post, so bear with me. They offered a retention bonus for people who stay. Has anyone been through this?

Write down key dates and keep copies of the notice. Mine helped when a question came up later.

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