I usually don't think something like a single bad moment(s) should be enough to get someone immediately fired (depending on what is said/the situation is) since everyone makes mistakes and says dumb things at times and the circumstances can be wildly different each time, and sometimes I think it's easy for some to forget that these are people's livelihoods, but at the same time it shouldn't surprise anyone when it does happen, it's completely understandable. If an employer thinks that someone they hired is doing/saying things that may not look good on them they are not going to like that. That's just the way it goes, but I think context is absolutely important too. 

While her response was hostile, she had mentioned that she's had to deal with people who try to tell her how to do her job and such all the time which sucks, so it's possible she thought this was another one of those situations upon which I think her reaction could make sense because at some people people get tired of shit, but it doesn't mean I think the person deserved it either though since he was trying to be respectful and genuine about what he wanted to say.

I'm not sure I agree about the other person being fired though. He came to her defense, but I don't think he was attacking anyone like she did. 

Edit: I'm editing this comment to rewrite it as to accurately portray what I meant to say at the time, as my original post was poorly worded.
