US, Georgia if it matters.

I just got laid off. Oof. Am I missing anything? I've never been laid off or fired before so it's all new to me. Just sanity checking myself.

  1. Tomorrow I'm going to write down all my job responsibilities before I forget them. For updating my resume.
  2. Figure out how to file for unemployment.
  3. Figure out what I need for COBRA benefits.
  4. Print and sign my separation agreement.
  5. Ensure I have access to my paystubs.

The obvious thing being to start applying for new jobs lol.

Well this is a four month old post. Did you end up okay?

When I got laid off I made sure to update my LinkedIn. Got some people to write me endorsements.
