401k login info, shore up any espp and decide what to do with that, make sure you’re connected with everyone you want to be connected to on LinkedIn, if your one-pager and people page job descriptions are good, take screenshots of the wording so that so you can describe your role well for new interviews.
Graciously send a goodbye e-mail to your team, how great it’s been to work with them/the company and your phone number so they can reach out if they want.
Close the laptop and be proud of how you left. Best of luck.

Toyota and vw are doing it. I think I’ve seen other ads on tv too. VW is actually doing 4months no payment 0%. Check your local dealership sites under specials. My friend got a golf like this a few weeks ago but i think his was only 3months deferred not 4. They all need to move inventory.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭
