‘The dude "released" me without notice’: Boss fires 3-year contractor, tries to bypass giving him unemployment by rehiring him as a 'new employee'

If you have ever been fired, then you there is an emotional and mental processing period right afterwards. You go through the stages of grief. After you come out of that, you pick yourself back up and you start over—applying for unemployment, applying to new jobs, etc. However, some shady business will try to meddle in your grieving period by unfairly removing your chances at getting unemployment. How do they expect you to eat and pay rent while you're looking for a new job? When this happens, tread lightly.

This contractor was fired in a shady manor and is now getting offered to be "rehired" in an even shadier manner. How so? Well, if he denies a job offer, he could potentially be then made ineligible for unemployment. On the other hand, he works in an at-will state, which means they can fire you at any moment. So if he gets rehired, but then fired the next day, he would now be fired as someone who only worked there for a day and thus, ineligible for unemployment. See the catch 22 here? But don't fret! Reddit and it's knowledgable redditors have recommendations on what to do in this type of situations. Once you get that figured out, check out this satisfying revenge on a trust fund baby ex-boyfriend.
