That oversimplifies this situation because an employer, regardless of it having outrageous work environment characteristics, has a responsibility to its employees. Like, in court.
One employee is now terminated for having reasonably driven vitriol from random internet Twitter users to another, by name.
Totally fair - life has nuance and its not clear cut moral high-ground to air all grievances on Twitter.

Butttttt I gotta say companies routinely violate said legal obligations and intentionally commit resources to continued abuse of said obligations - knowing individuals lack the resources to fight back or institute meaningful change through legal recourse without great cost.
An I whole-heartedly agree with you. It's horrific when companies violate legal obligations, hoping to skate by undetected, making power-plays against their own employees. It's unethical.
Here, to repeat, it seems the issue is simply the employee revealed personal information about a coworker.
I feel critical, because the employee could have raised her "can't afford to live here" with someone in the company - requesting a pay raise, and then hypothetically gotten some REAL WHISTLEBLOWER DIRT if they responded with something like, "tough luck, poor-ie employ-ee lolzzz." But she did not, and the company did not, and she shamed her coworker (and being an exec should not mean you get publicly shamed IMO).
