I find this odd. To me, one's pay has always been a personal thing. If they choose to keep it to themselves, that's fine. If they care to share, that's fine too.
But firing someone over that?? Either you're
A) a control freak.
B) you don't want the competition to know that you don't pay very well and are afraid that your staff will get poached.
I once worked for a firm where the president nearly encouraged people to share their pay. It worked to his benefit...we always had the competition's best people come to us looking for work. We always had the best and brightest. It worked to his advantage. And he was also proud that his company was among the best paying in the industry.
But fire someone over that? Wow....
