But even her desire to be fired drips with privilege. She wanted to be fired and 'paid off'. She should realize that it's a privilege for an employer to give her money for getting rid of her. That's not how it works in many, many places. If she was that humiliated, she could've quit.

If by law or employment contract, a company must pay compensation after a dismissal, there is now an incentive for companies to "force out" employees by making them resign by their own hand. It's quite clear this is what happened in this situation. Such "constructive dismissal" is therefore a method of avoiding their legal obligations to their (former) employees, and so the practice should be - and often is - banned. In any case, it should not be "a privilege" to be treated humanely by employers, it should be a right.
