Company I was with folded in 2012 and I didn't get a new job until just over a year later.
We knew the company was doing bad (other departments got laid off first, people jumping ship) but it was just a regular weekday (I think it was a Wednesday) and I'd come back from lunch and found out they told everyone to pack up and they'd speak to us before we left. the owner said a few words. Sat on unemployment filling out applications until I got the job I'm in now.
It was really depressing and felt a bit hopeless. Barely paying the bills and lots of jobs just out a reach (no savings so moving would have been in my mind impossible).
