I don't think it's clear, but it seems like the person who wrote the article is a QA tester and the developer who suggested the fix was another person. I doubt they would fire a QA tester just for finding a bug. He might have been laid off with a bunch of other people or he might have been getting a big head about his prize defect. Granted, it is kind of a big defect. But some people can be sore winners.
