Bummer dude. Take a breath, clear your head, and form a plan about how you will get your next gig. Friend of mine was laid off in the great S&O massacre at Deloitte. Took her 1.5-2 months to get through the interview process to start at Pwc.

Kinda freaking out now, how low was your utilization OP?

@disagree with EY8. Under utilization and performance are two completely different issues. Don't blame the laid off person cause sometimes the work is just not there and OP had plenty of utilization in 2017.

I was stressed when I was laid off. In retrospect, the worry was a waste of energy. Relax. Decide what you want to do next. Work to get a better job. Five years from now, this won't even register in your memory. But really--relax and enjoy the free time.

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing? Upon starting this job a couple of weeks ago, I discovered between the time I interviewed and my start date they had hired a new CEO, laid off all of their off-shore teams, changed my position to a new hiring manager, and added an on-call rotation to all engineering teams. None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.
