<prompt> Human: I just got fired last week and my company offered me a severance pay. I would normally not have any questions but whats making me question the severance is that the director that fired specially told me I highly recommend getting a lawyer to look over the severance letter. I dont want to have to pay for a lawyer to look at the letter just to have them say go ahead and sign. Any advice on how to go about signing?  <response>: You may be signing away your unemployment benefits. Make sure you know what you are signing.
