Here’s the BS I had to deal with:
-I was dealing with health issues when I was working.
-My former coworker actively tried to make my condition worse.
-I reported them for this to management & HR
-Got fired, as they had friends in HR.
-They filled out the unemployment paperwork wrong 4 times.
-The unemployment case was so messed up, the local government got involved.
The positives.
-Company deamed at fault and heavily scolded by the government.
-I got paid more on unemployment than when working.
-I make ~25% more at my new job.
-I got paid more on unemployment than when working.
How did that one happen? That’s the unbelievable part to me - unemployment is basically capped to a percentage (usually 50%) of what you were making when working and vacation pay and partial pay (paychecks from part time work) etc any other non-gift pay also deduct or delay from how much you end up getting paid, at least where I live.
Unemployment counts the last 5 quarters. If you get fired before a quarter ends it doesn’t count it as a full quarter.
I left a different job making a lot more because of my health. I knew the manager at this new job and he saw I wanted a position that I was already in. Less hours, about the same pay.
When I was unemployed it counted the vacation I was reimbursed upon my leave from the previous company and the massive amount of overtime I was making from the previous job. If they would have fired me 4 days later, I would have been in the new quarter and gotten a lot less.
Got the boot from a company.

That was ~2 years ago.

It happens - especially when company gets in trouble.
Not saying this is not possible, but your story does seem a bit simple.
Unlikely but bound to happen eventually? Sure
