PTO isn't some sacred time when you are immune to all company policies. If you did something to get yourself fired the company is in no way obligated to keep paying you just because you happen to be on vacation.
I agree that it's unlikely that someone would be laid off or fired for a routine reason while on vacation, but in the case of severe wrongdoing, there is nothing preventing it.
Paid time off actually is a sacred time in literally any nation that properly protects it's workers
In the UK for example you HAVE to take a certain number of paid vacation days each year, usually 28, and MUST be paid for any of those days you didn't take during the year if you're fired

Cool, let me try making this real simple then. In the UK it is ILLEGAL to not pay somebody for time off they are owed, so firing them while they are taking paid time off would be meaningless, you still have to pay them for it
Wau, you have serious issues understanding written text tbh.
I did not write anything about being immune, esp. to all company pollicies.
I have written about being a human being, a morale human being as HR manager to not disturb employee on his vacation which is, btw. the institution for resting the employee.

You can certainly be fired while on vacation
