Because you are not in target audience. Target audience is not top 20% of Gauss distribution or probably not even top 40% of confident people. It is all those people who fear they will be fired but are still needed (you still can have top performers with anxiety). If they hear someone "graduated" it becomes OK in a day or two, but "fired" will trigger them and all anxiety will make them think not about working harder but about what they will do when they are next. "Your audience can take hearing that you fired someone", that is situation specific, company specific, yes audience specific. If you think we are all adults and should treat everyone who is over 21 as perfectly reasonable person, you are in world of surprise.
