I don't know if everywhere is the same, but here the unemployment office keeps a record of businesses that fire a lot of people. It definitely weighs in when applying. If they see a company with a long string of people applying they're a lot more likely to approve them.
edit: I believe they refer to them as hostile employers.

Reply to comment by ReignDelay in Widely used sewer pipe repair technology creates and emits nanoplastics into the air by ajwhelton
> What’s so bad about it? We already do it” is a pretty pessimistic take
Not pessimistic at all. It's realistic. We have a finite amount of money and time to make plastic problems better. To make up numbers for an example, if the total amount of microplastics put in the air each year is 1 trillion bits, and if cutting sewer pipes adds 47 bits per year, then saying "What's so bad about it" is actually saying "We have far greater issues to spend our money and time on." and it protects you from wasting that time and money.

Reply to comment by marqui4me in Filing for Unemployment with Company that serially fires employees by marqui4me
That's fine as long as you have a plan for when you do get fired. Sometimes it's handy to learn new skills that can be used somewhere else for a better job. Secretly document your treatment, wait to get fired, claim unemployment with the documentation, then find a better job with those skills.
