How to Respond to a Layoff: Stay Calm, Get Statutory Compensation, Then Plan

After a layoff, calmly understand the severance package (N, N+1, etc.), social-insurance continuation and the reason-for-departure certificate, confirm the plan is lawful, do not sign harmful papers, and keep the contract, pay and communication evidence; use arbitration if talks fail.
