And of course there always is a single boss even if this fact is hidden; in the case of Valve it's presumably gaben, who owns the majority of the company and must presumably be the final arbiter of everything that happens.
I can only assume that the actual firing process involves a lot of hushed talking followed by an approach to gaben followed by a discussion followed by a "sorry, bye".
One could in fact suggest that the flat management structure only works when there is exactly one clear owner of the company. Everyone can pretend that everyone gets a say, when it's clear to everyone who really has the final say.
