As you realize, your job is done and they're going through the options to get you out.

Being reactive is leaving putting your future in other peoples hands. As others are saying, be pro-active.

> I do not have a lot of money saved (not good!)...

You're not in a good position. Get a new job and start saving to protect yourself going forward. You need at LEAST 6 months of saving.

Don't bother waiting for unemployment (there's a chance you won't get it so don't rely on it). Start the rebuild immediately.

>hope to work for myself one day

Sure, but sometimes it takes a bit of time to get things going and you really need a savings buffer.

TLDR: Don't stay at this company that doesn't appreciate you. Onwards!
