Ask HN: Fired at 51 weeks by prominent startup?

I was fired at 51 weeks by a somewhat prominent startup. For the first time, I went on unemployment while finding my next opportunity. The startup contested unemployment however they were overruled by the judge. I went on unemployment for the health insurance as I have a young child.

I fear associating my name with this incident however I also think I should warn my fellow engineers. The options were clawed back.

How would you handle being fired without cause at 51 weeks? Would you share it publicly?
