I am so sorry. First thing is to file for unemployment even if you don't think you will qualify. There is a 1-week waiting period so if you file now you will get it one week sooner. If you have kids...

Wow! Such great advice! Thank you so much. Technically I'm on administrative leave for the time being so I'm still being paid (I think up to 15 days). Basically, I have a choice to resign or make them...
