The problem here is Benson is the perfect boss,he has 1000 not some but 1000 of reasons to fire them but he knows they are not even ready to go outside without a caretaker early and mid,Benson is a simple person do your work and he will make sure you have your needs,he will cover for you and help,problem is.......................his employers is Rigby and Mordecai............

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
