Robofiring is often done simply as a means to extert control over workers who have done nothing wrong and who have not had a complaint, by automatically robofiring a whole workforce until they all do a required action like accepting new contract terms or repressive invasive collecgion of personal data.
Robofiring never gives the exact reason for the firing, robofired workers face extreme difficulty in redressing any injustice or correcting false information, and are often refusing information about the reasons for the robofiring.

Uber robofired me 6 times this year - 4 times to make me approve new contracts that came up as blank on my app, once 2 hours after I complained about being attacked by 4 passengers, and once because a passenger who wanted to squeeze 4 people into my back seat ( I refused) complained that I had a non-existent fault light flashing!
That time the Uberrobot kept insisting I supply a receipt for fixing the non-existent fault light, for a non existent component the "air suspension warning light."
