The Aftermath Plan: A 30/60/90 for Layoffs and Reorgs

A free printable workbook for the weeks after a layoff, reorg or exit you did not choose, written by Erica Rivera, a former Google and Indeed recruiter. It walks through the first 72 hours, then days 1-30 (runway math, benefits and unemployment deadlines, severance review), days 31-60 (evidence of your work, your narrative) and days 61-90 (options and offers), with space to write your own answers and date them.

Why I recommend it: The most useful page is the first 72 hours: read the separation agreement slowly, do not sign on day one, and handle healthcare and unemployment deadlines before you touch your resume. It is written for senior women with 12+ years in, so the framing assumes that; the deadlines and runway math apply to anyone. It downloads straight as a PDF with no email required.
