My job never wanted to fire people. They just made working conditions so poor that people quit.
In the US this is called constructive dismissal. It's a tactic used by employers to get away with firing someone but not getting hit by unemployment insurance payments.
The good news for workers is, it still counts as being fired and you still qualify for unemployment if you "quit" under these conditions.
