The worker told him that the $18 per hour works out to about $3k a month - the same thing - but he had to WORK for that.
He said that he'd have to be paid DOUBLE to justify working!!!!

Your lawn care guy is lying to you, or maybe you are lying to us. Under Nevada law, you don’t get unemployment if you quit your job unless you have good reason. Not wanting to work is not good reason. Also, the monthly payment in Nevada is around $1800 not $3,000.
If you’re talking about adding the COVID-19 benefits which will be ending soon, that won’t work either. Those only kick in if you are unemployed because of Covid.
I said above that the monthly payment is $1800, but that is a maximum. The real amount is half what you earned during your base period up to the maximum. So, when you lose your job, your pay is cut in half. If you quit your job, you’re not eligible. Your post is BS.
