Mad Men creator Matt Weiner wrote for The Sopranos, so he knows all about whacking key characters. And that's basically what he's been doing all season - killing off our favorite Sterling-Cooper employees with reckless abandon.
First Joan quit her job because that loser doctor she married was going to get a residency. But the residency never materialized and Joan had to go back to work as a sad clothing store clerk. Whacked.
Now, Sal was fired because he fended off the gay advances of one of those douchebag Lucky Strike guys, and the guy got pissed and face needed to be saved. I mean, yeah, I get the need to turn over the cast a little bit, but damn, did Don have to be so creepy-cold about it?
"You people?" What the fuck did that mean you womanizing creep?
Okay, I'm beginning to take this too seriously. I need to go outside more and meet some real living people.
Oh, by the way, spoiler alert.

Gawd, I need to watch this show again! I always miss it!
I love Sal! Don't fire him!
This could be a shout out to the gay rights movement of the future. How many people think of women, not gays, when they think of sexual harassment? Gays were thought of as a nuisance and easily disposed of. Flash forward 30 years and Sal could sue and own Sterling Cooper.
