Meeting w Company Reps
usually there is a talk with hr, manager + maybe skip level
they usually have a checklist of things to do
ask questions
Listen to music loudly, cry, scream, talk to friends and family, commiserate, let it all out
Dont let negative thoughts win. We can talk for days about this, but fight on
Severance package
heard this is negotiable
you'll need to read and sign
Unemployment
do this right away. you'll need the previous year's pay stubs. this is for Cali residents - https://edd.ca.gov/unemployment/
Healthcare
If you're single, go sign up for the cobra health coverage -- add link to cobra
If you are married, make your significant other add you to their health plan
use all your healthcare bennies, go to dentist, doctor, eye doctor

If these accounts are connected to your work email, go in and change anything related to work to your personal bits
you can transfer to your main brokerage account later
Cash
If you're getting a fat check, don't spend it all at once. You might need it for the road ahead. shove it into a high yield savings and let it gain 5% ( as of may 17th 2024 )
here's a wealthfront referral link that will get you 5.5% for 3 months then 5% after that:

-- full disclousure, i also get 3 months of 5.5% when you use the link, but i've already maxed out my referrals so please find someone else who hasn't had a referral and use their referral link. you'll both win. if you don't know anyone, i know some folks.
here's another ref: https://www.wealthfront.com/c/affiliates/invited/AFFB-793Q-DZA0-3MI4

you know yourself best, so take whatever time off you need. I don't have the luxury, I started hunting right away. I have a short story to tell, but later.
Clean up your home. Pet your kids. Pet your pets. Think. Create a business. Hang out with other laid off people. eat well. sleep. ride a bike :)
Fix up your resume!
It'll suck to recall what you did before you got canned, but just do it
Once you're ready
Clean up your desk, clean up your computer, get your email ready
