To those getting laid off today:
I've been where you are - and it sucks. You still have productive value, and you will find something new. Maybe not doing the same thing or making the same money, but it will get brighter than it is today. Its ok to be sad and upset, and it makes sense to take time to grieve this loss.
When I got laid off someone told me to take a week and just think. Instead of doing that I went full tilt into resume/job search/networking. And it was all unproductive, because I wasn't ready. I wish I had taken that advice, so I pass it along now.
