You are so right!

My husband just went through this, and he pretty much did everything you mentioned, though he didn't have a great rapport with his current boss. His two previous supervisors had seen the writing on the wall and had left a few months before, and they gave my husband great recommendations, though, and my husband landed on his feet.

Another important thing is an emergency fund. If you have a good emergency fund, your options are a lot better than if you don't. If your emergency fund is big enough, you can take your time finding a job that is worth taking. If you don't have a good emergency fund, you're up against the clock when it comes to finding a new job. This is especially true if you can't negotiate a great severance package.
