As we all know not all fat people are huge because of being pigs some have problems with their glands. I am a big mf but in semi shape can still kick a little !!!
Unfortunately, they don't need any reason at all to fire you. You could be the best damn MAist in the world and they could simply fire you because they dislike your overly long ear-hair. They fire you because they gave you the job in the first place, and because you're not needed any more. Ultimately, companies are compelled to fire people (even if they'd rather not) to increase productivity just like they're compelled to pay you as little as possible for the same reason. You don't have a choice, they don't have a choice; they're simply dictating the rules of the game, and if you don't like them, you can starve (or at least loose a couple of pounds).
'could he do his job?' is a fecund question. They simply didn't want him around either because somebody didn't like him or because he's not productive. Either way he is subordinate to his employer who can dispose of him at will -and did. There's no overarching question of moral culpability here. The system doesn't allow for it.
