Well, it was two months ago today that I was laid off (along with 600 others). For some reason, they did not give me a severance package right away, but kept me on the payroll for a while. I’ve never had this in my previous layoffs, but I was grateful for it because it meant that we still had health insurance.
Today is my official termination. Bye-bye, paycheck and benefits. Hello, EDD unemployment insurance and COBRA.
