[removing my remark because I was likely wrong about his meaning]

  Im fairly certain he means 'plain old not doing a great job'.

  I had to read that sentence a couple of times but I think it’s just poorly worded. He’s not saying that the person is old, he’s saying that the reason for wanting to fire them “you are not doing a great job”, is a “plain old” reason

    I think you're right, but why put the dash in there? It made it really hard to parse.

  You read the comment wrong. What he meant wasnt age. "or just plain old [saying] 'you arent doing great job'"

  I'm 99.9% sure OP the author didn't mean that people should be fired for being old. I agree that the phrasing is open to misinterpretation, but I read it as "plain-old not doing a great job"
