So basically, USCIS was ok with me working after my EAD expired so long as my current application was still pending but that my employer could fire me if they wanted to.

I have a friend who works for Toyota. His EAD was coming dangerously close to expiring so he brought it up to HR's attention. HR spoke with DOJ (not USCIS for whatever reason) and they said something similar to this, HR said they needed 2 things from my friend so they could keep him employed while the application was pending.
It never happened though since his EAD was magically approved a month earlier than what USCIS quoted him on the phone.
