all of this is true, but you still end up with the unemployment checks. they will give you a penalty period like 6 weeks or something, but then you get the regular amount you would've gotten without all of the hassles, and that's only if they believe the employer's story over yours.
it's almost like court, so gather as much documentation as you can. stuff on paper is more believable than just your word against his. btw, does he have anything written on you? performance reviews, or the like? were you ever written up for a company policy violation? if he has these things in writing, then you will almost certainly get the penalty, but it doesn't preclude you from collecting. if you have these things, or can get them, then take them with you to the unemployment interview. btw, file
immediately if you haven't already.
in your next employment search, try to find companies that've been around forever that have a solid future outlook. i know it's tough, and companies can go under for any reason under the sun, but the more stability the company shows the more secure your future can be. you also might think about a career change to something that lets you use the skills you've amassed so far, but is a completely different field than what you were working in. just a thought.
