While I'm admittedly immature in my career, I've never seen this happen ever. Unless he spoke about something that breached a non-disclosure, the firing is based on a arbitrary rule.

Most companies will not fire you straight away if the breach isn't to damaging. They will give you the option to save face and walk away (i.e. so you remain employable) within the next couple weeks. If you ignore it then they wll fire you. I have seen many people at my previous companies just suddenly walk away because of such incidents. One guy didn't take the hint and was escorted out.
