Before the last day, to do these 6 things!

For the people who got laid off. Before the last day, Need to sure to do these 6 things:


  1. Download at least 2 paystubs. You never know when you're going to need these.
  2. Save copies of your work (assuming this doesn't break any confidentiality rules).
  3. Write recommendations for your favorite colleagues, and request that they write one for you in return.
  4. Draft the goodbye message, don't just disappear. Close the chapter meaningfully and take note of all of the connections you made.
  5. Make a list of your day-to-day responsibilities and how they contributed to company goals. (This comes in handy for interview prep and resume updates.)
  6. Feel your feelings. It's more than okay to grieve the end of a chapter!
