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.

      Yeah, I’ve got a good cushion of an emergency fund and investments I can tap into if this somehow takes months but you’re right about cutting back on spending.

      The funny part is my wife was literally leaving a tattoo parlor after a consultation. I called her while she was in the parking lot even. Luckily she was able to get the deposit back.
