My last time getting laid off, I had people loyal to me tell me well in advance so I was prepared.

You don’t end up the kind of person who has people loyal to them if you do wacky, zany hijinks and make everything about yourself, even when it objectively is about you. Don’t make scenes, don’t be dramatic, just have some questions ready about severance and what benefits are available to you.

This will pay off a lot when you go to apply for a new job and they want to talk to the people who you worked for.
