Why The First 48 Hours Matter?
Most people unknowingly make the wrong decisions immediately after a layoff —
decisions fueled by shock, fear, and misinformation.
These mistakes often lead to:
-
Signing agreements without fully understanding them
-
Losing money or severance leverage
-
Delayed unemployment benefits
-
Panic-applying to jobs
-
Saying things emotionally that hurt future opportunities
The F48 Workbook helps you avoid all of this.
It guides you step-by-step through the emotional, legal, financial, and strategic
decisions that matter most — while giving you AI tools to communicate clearly and
confidently.
You don’t need to guess.
You don’t need to spiral.
You don’t need to do this alone.
About LeTonya
Meet LT — Your Untraditional HR Business Partner™
LeTonya Shaw
I’m LeTonya (LT) — HR leader, podcaster, career strategist, and the coach you want on your side during a layoff.
Over the last 20 years, I’ve been laid off four times and have personally supported thousands of employees through terminations, restructurings, and transitions.
As an AI Career Strategist, I teach job seekers how to use AI the right way — not to replace your voice, but to clarify it, strengthen it, and accelerate your job search with tools that give you a competitive edge.
I created the F48 Framework because no one teaches you how to manage the first 48 hours — yet those hours determine everything that happens next.
This workbook gives you the clarity I wish I had during my first layoff.
