Phil wasn't fired, he quit during a tard tantrum. When he started his transginger bullshit he went to his boss and DEMANDED they change the name on his name tag right now, now, now, NOW, NOW! His boss told him they couldn't do it right then and there, but they would order Phil a new badge (or make him one) with the new name. Phil, being the entitled, self-centered child that he is, flew into a tantrum and quit. They had no problem accommodating Phil's "transition", but because Phil wasn't getting immediate gratification he quit his job.
