There is little to gain (and much to lose) by making it sound like bob was unattractive to the company, even if he was. This kind of thing is best done immediately, and kept as short and as detail-free as possible. If there is a lesson to be learned through bob's leaving, it's best done in a small meeting between the manager/team lead, and bob's immediate co-workers.

You appear to be stating this as a fact.

Also when the headline talked about "getting fired", most would probably differentiate that from "employee leaving", which usually implies by their own volition.

Except in the case of senior staff, I think broadcasting someone's departure to all 120 employees is a bad approach in general. But if you're going to make an announcement whenever a low level employee is fired, best to couch it in the same sort of language.
