Anybody who saw that happen and didn't stop the firing absolutely deserved it.

    If your company is run by someone who fires people openly in front of others, that's a red flag.

    Even my absolute worst boss, who had a horrible temper, would rarely fire someone on the floor in front of coworkers. And that man was a walking red flag who got fired after about a year in his position, when his bosses finally found out how he treated his employees.

    I assume that the company mentioned here didn't have a proper HR representative who knew and understood the law about religious discrimination.

    Can confirm this.

    My first job had a manager who loved "making examples out of people". One time, he threatened to fire a girl because she didn't organize something the way he wanted, and went on a speech about how he is to be respected and when the girl told the owner, they hired a second manager to potentially remove him.

    He later went to jail for stabbing a guy at a bar, probably drunk. So he removed himself. He then became a cop. So that's cool.

    Most responsible business owners understand the cost of hiring new employees, so they want to keep productive employees for as long as possible. And if middle managers are mistreating employees, a good business owner will do something about it.

    Not to say that all business owners are good. Having worked for good and bad people, I can say that leaving a business with bad ownership is always a good thing in the long run, even if it hurts in the short term.
