I've been fired myself before for less, frankly. Sure. And as a business owner, I appreciate the freedom that at-will employment gives me (though being in Canada, I'm a bit more constrained than in the USA.) I still think it might not have been right to fire the people in question, even if it was legal.

Firing the guy was a mistake. But once this incident blew up she was toast. She won't ever be employable in any position that involves outside sales or contact with the public, inside the tech industry and likely outside of it. Google never forgets and this story is now everywhere.
