I’m 90% I’m about to be laid off from my job tomorrow and this is my first time being laid off and this was my first dev job. I’ve worked here for over 7 years which is a long time at a dev job I know.

I’m just wondering what I should do in the meeting, what should I ask for? I’m having a range of emotions from fear of losing my house and health insurance (thanks usa) to relief and hope that I’m going to find something better and more fulfilling.

Thanks for reading

Edit: it’s confirmed I am getting laid off. Thanks everyone for the advice and well wishes. It really helped and means a lot.

    Stay calm and maintain professionalism. Don’t show fear. Just try not to show any emotion.

    Get personal contact info for anyone at your job who could be a good professional reference.

    These are the two most important pieces of advice I’ve seen so far, @iamericandre@lemmy.world

    Good luck. Make sure you reach out to irl friends to help you deal with the emotional stress.
