I understand where your coming from, but I think that it's implied that "firing everyone else" would be equally supported option. For this idea that "sake of consistency," what consistency?

Vernon got fired (option 1 essentially is fired)

Other Employees didn't (Option 2 = keep job)

In a way, I read this kinda like the question before in one the questions before where an example was given:

Joe is faster than jack

would be the same thing as

Jack is slower than joe

it's logically the same thing

I think the same here:

Vernon got fired

Other employees didn't

So to be consistent, the other employees either can fired too or vernon can get his job back because those are the only two options.

It's lowkey sad that were paying money, and majority of us are confused in chat. Why aren't there any explanations or videos if chaining is complicated??
