Who's behind this
One person, not a content farm. Here's the honest version.
Okay, Next is built and maintained by one person:
Sasha T. Wright. Not a venture-backed startup, not an SEO operation with a rotating cast of freelancers. One person who watched people get blindsided by the paperwork side of a layoff: the deadlines nobody mentions in the goodbye email, the health-coverage decision with a four-figure price tag, the severance agreement written to be signed quickly and read never.
The layoff itself is out of your control. The two weeks after it are not. This site exists to make those two weeks organized instead of terrifying, and it is deliberately small enough to care about getting the details right.
The rules this site runs by
The useful parts stay free.
Guides, state pages, deadline tracking, the triage tool. If something is genuinely free somewhere else online, it's free here too. Paid covers the parts that cost real money to run, like the AI plan and reminder emails.
No fake anything.
The
reviews page is empty because there are no reviews yet, and we won't invent them. Same rule everywhere: no invented user counts, no stock-photo testimonials.
Your data is yours.
We never ask for your SSN, bank login, or card number. The one-shot tools process what you paste, then drop it. Your plan and tracker are yours to delete any time. The full details live in the
privacy policy, written in actual English.
Deadlines come from the source.
State pages link to the official agency, cite the actual law, and carry the date they were last reviewed. When a state's rules change, the page changes. It's also why there's no app-store app: a web fix ships the same hour it's verified, not after a review queue. And none of it is legal advice; when something needs a lawyer, the site says so instead of pretending.
