Can't understand ... his having been

Hello....

I wonder how the Gurus here will think about the sentence below.


********


I can’t understand his having been fired at the company.


********

  1. Is the sentence acceptable?
  1. If not, what can I change it into?

a. “can’t understand” should be “don’t understand”?

b. “his having been” sounds natural?

c. “at the company” should be “from the company”?

********Is the sentence acceptable? If you change 'at' to 'from', it will be an excellent sentence.
