I work from home so I'd change my LinkedIn to being open to recruiters (not the "Open to Work" banner) and reach out to the recruiters that I've worked with in the past as well as those I've heard from the past year while not looking.

I would then research the work involved to start my own CAS service in case the leads are not looking good. I'm at point in my career where working independently doesn't intimidate me near as much as it used to and I feel myself leaning closer to that eventuality.

I'd grab some bourbon and relax for a bit and think about the chaos that would ensue if my company actually did that without any transition planning.

I just saw bourbon and relax.....
