[quote=Anonymous]A layoff is not a firing. Most people I know have been through one, especially in this area. It's nothing personal and it doesn't reflect on your work ethic, skill or background. In fact, in many cases, layoffs are done to people at the higher level because their salaries are bigger. Companies know that. So get out there NOW, while you still have a job. Negotiate the best possible severance package you can, including access to Cobra, etc. Cut whatever expenses you can now, figure out where you can access funds if need be. Come up with your plan A, B and C. Also, when you do stop working, give yourself at least an hour every day to do whatever the hell you want to do. Exercise is a good thing to pass the time. I used my unemployment to take more yoga classes during the day when I used to be working. It was nice. I also slept a bit more and ate better because I had more time to cook. Good luck![/quote]
