Philip would like his secretary to be .
Philip would like his secretary to be fired.
fired: This is correct. In the letter, Philip says, "it is with regret that I recommend she be dismissed as soon as possible". To be "dismissed" is to be "fired" or "to lose your job". Note, Philip's statement, "I recommend she be dismissed" (not "I recommend she is dismissed"), is an example of the infrequently used subjunctive tense. The subjunctive present is generally reserved for statements of insistence, demand or necessity. Example: I demand that he BE fired immediately.
punished : "To be punished" is "to be disciplined" for an action considered to be wrong. In this context, a punishment might be a reduction of financial bonuses, or perhaps a demotion to a more junior position. The term "punished" is not a synonym of "dismissed".
promoted: "To be promoted" is to given a better job in the same company. Example: Philip dreams of being PROMOTED to CEO of the Delavigne Corporation. The term "promoted" is not a synonym of "dismissed".
suspended: In this context, "to be suspended" would mean a temporary pause or exclusion from working. Example: After touching yet another female intern, Philip Cheeter was SUSPENDED without pay for 15 days. The term "suspended" is not a synonym of "dismissed".
