I just got blindsided folks. Manager and some HR lady pull me into a chat room and inform me they are letting me going due to company restructuring :-) I didn't see this coming at all I'm devastated and don't know what the fuck to do. [Reply]
Get your ass back in that office, shake it gurl, do yo thang. Does your manager know you're willing to whore yourself out to keep your job? Let it be known. [Reply]
My company does this twice a year and they have done it every year in the 20 years I've been with them.
It fucking sucks. Is anybody in that industry hiring right now? You might be able to leverage some of your experience if it's in the same field. [Reply]

Reflect on your desires and skills.
Let EVERYBODY know you are looking.
File for benefits, now…even if you are getting a sepp package.
Take 2 weeks and get away, refresh.
Look into upgrading your skills.
Keep your head up…it’s them, not you.
Good luck bud.
This is the best plan.
And take that week or two to 'refresh,' or whatever. That's just about the most important thing on the list. I'd go fishing for a few days, some might take a mini-vacation, whatever. But don't just sit around the house for two weeks. Pick something you've wanted to do (that isn't stupid expensive) and go do it; take advantage of the opportunity.
it'll also give you a chance to think in different surroundings, which can help, for whatever reason.
Anyway, that pause often allows your mind to reset, and can lead to better choices going forward.
