Ultimately, this is an internal matter. Marvel has all the information on exactly what happened, in full detail - more than would be publicly known. It's on them to investigate what terms Cebulski violated and decide what their appropriate response should be. And they've already done this. Quite some time ago.

Having people far, far outside the situation try and deem what should or shouldn't be done after the fact is ridiculous.

I expect most people wouldn't like it much if everyone else took it upon themselves to poke their nose into their workplace and try and second guess every decision that was made.
