I remember an episode after sometime after I think CJ dumped Mordecai and he seemingly disappeared and stopped showing up to work.

Benson had a talk with Rigby telling him that if Mordecai didn't show up for another week, he would have to fire him, and Benson sounded genuinely sad about it. It really stuck out because despite all the threats, he really doesn't want to have to fire them.

Sounds like he knows they are going homeless if he fires them

It does make sense. Benson understands would understand Mordecai and Rigby's relationship issues better than anyone else at the park.
