No, in the same way we don't fire people for getting viruses on their computer. Without a reason to believe the action was intentionally designed to cause harm to the business, like cstrat said, education is the best way to handle it. It would be hard to prove malicious intent in a case like this. LinkedIn would be attacking us, the user would just be an attack vector. It's akin to getting phished.
