Use of the word "fire"

Question

I am wondering if the word fire can be used in the context of : "We fired a major client of ours because he has become a nuisance"

I thought the "fired" could only be used in the context of an employer terminating an employee not an employee terminating an employer.

Thank you very much

I tend to agree with you. We don't fire (sack) our clients, but we can drop or relinquish (stop our association with) them.
