Of course employees should be reprimanded when they make an error that costs the company money; but it is wise to think about the serious consequences of firing them hastily. How will the families survive when the only source of income is lost? Even with a job, many parents are struggling; imagine their small children going to bed hungry. It could take months to find another job. Who will pay rent? Before long a family could end up on the street or living out of their car. Only a cruel person can disregard the human suffering that results from immediate firings for employees' errors.
