<prompt> Human: My employer told me he would be closing the law firm within two months this tuesday. This Wednesday, he told me Friday would be my last day with the firm. On my way out after my evaluation, of which he stated the cause of my dismissal which was not for cause , he told me not to collect unemployment because other employers look at that and dont hire people. Instead, I should get a bridge job such as working at McDonaldsWalmart while searching for a position relative to my experienceskillsdegree. Would he be able to contest my unemployment or is it even a good idea to collect it at this point? Assistant: Im really impressed that you were able to restrain yourself from laughing hard in his face.Human: The best I could say was, but isnt unemployment meant to bridge recently unemployed people to their next job? in response to hearing how I should work a service job to bridge the gap.  <response>: LPT: when someone starts trying to scam you, stop talking and exit the conversation
