What to do in a carpool after being laid off?
Remember that everyone you speak with is a potential networking contact. You don’t know what opportunities your neighbor or fellow carpool parent might open to you—and you won’t find out if they think you’re a loose cannon or disgruntled employee. Try to remain respectful when asked about the layoff and your past employer, or just stay quiet.
Can a manager ask you to keep working if you get laid off?
