I don't think it's fair to compare what Mel did to what Rushia did as if it's the same thing. Rushia knowingly spread company secrets and also false information to gossip youtubers and had loads of other drama surrounding her at that time. This was mentioned in Rushia's termination statement. Much more detailed and there was more to her termination than just a simple NDA breach, unlike Mel's.

I know breaking NDA should have consequences, but I find it odd that Mel's punishment here (which seems like an honest mistake, considering how amicable it seems) is the same as Rushia's, because Rushia's case was very different.

Cover easily could've made the case for a suspension.

And if we're talking precedents, you could go back to Coco and Haachama's suspension during the Taiwan incident, where the given reason was that those analytics were company secrets. Yet no termination.
