Working class people should always be working at something, at anything.
There is no job that is so important that a working class person cannot do without.
When losing one job, a working class person should not reach home without finding at least one other type of work to supplement the other part time job.
When all other attempts at multiple jobs fail, the working class person goes to work for him/herself doing whatever needs doing--and there's always plenty of that.
That's called self employment and as Judge Judy often says, collect cans if nothing else.
There are many stories of people that bless the day they were laid off and forced out of their comfort zone--security zone that is--and found out there was a whole world of opportunity out there when they began actively searching for it.
Been there, done that.
Good luck and God bless us all!

Inactivity is a forbidden word
and was never allowed where I grew up.
Only working class people ever get laid off.

How helpful!
This is a very helpful and thoughtful post! I agree with the necessity of finding something to do while you're looking for a new job. Inactivity can really rob you of a lot of joy in life.

I was lucky enough never to get laid off, but I've seen plenty of such cases, and the advice here is very good. Pay attention!

Yes, I am getting a bit fixated on doing and not doing re: lay-off. Hmmm. Must be something in the air.......

What's next?
How about 10 things to do or not to do if you're not laid off?
Hey, as long as you're fixated on this laid off thing---go for it!
