No, for large companies (those at risk of being sued) it works the other way round: they collect very detailed data to objectively justify any firing, otherwise they are at high risk of losing a discrimination lawsuit.

Hence "improvement plans", "needs improvement" ratings, etc, etc.

It is likely true that small and medium companies can get away with abuse though.
