Posting you resume on a jobs site does not necessarily mean you are actively looking for a job. And I highly doubt an employer would fire someone just for having their resume publicly posted. Besides, if you’re employer is that fickle, maybe you should have your resume out there, just in case.

Actually the story they are pitching is that when you find someone's resume online and email them job offer, they might not be available. They are trying to solve this problem by showing only people actively looking for jobs in search results. It is similar to Github's "I'm available for hire" checkbox announced couple days ago.
What would you think if you saw that one of your employees recently started paying money to receive offers for a new job?
I would think it's time to have a conversation. If they're worth keeping, find out how. If not, wish them luck.
