Fired? Hmmm - I hope that you don't fire everybody in your employ who messes something up. Even if it's a big something.
It's much easier to:
a) Correct an employee's behaviour
b) Tweak a set of operational procedures to include the regular checking of patch levels
c) Do a regular security review of your network topology
than it is to knee-jerk fire everybody who was involved. Hiring is DAMNED expensive - and even after you've got a new hire, they take weeks to get up to speed. And even then they often turn out to be bloody useless!
