I talked on the phone with my counterpart due to a company acquisition. Not like we didn't all suspect downsizing but when it's talking to you on the phone then you get hit between the eyes with the reality. I've gone into a tailspin trying to figure out what I can do to prepare my family for me, the soul breadwinner, going on unemployment. I feel blessed that I got a few months to prepare as many around me only got 3 weeks. What would you do? What has been your experience and what would you have done differently?
