  Sure, but again, here in the real world, most people who are not pulling their weight are not immediately fired. The company went through a lot to hire that person; there was a reason why the decision to hire was made. Maybe the person needs a different kind of project, or to work with different people, or they have something temporary in their personal life that's interfering. Coaching and mentorship are often needed to bring people up to their potential. That's normal. Most successful companies don't have fire-fast policies. Companies with a fire-fast culture tend to be cut-throat, where nobody remembers your wins, only your screw-ups; employees are incentivized to blame others and cover their ass in order to avoid the Angel of Death. Nobody wants to work at a place like that, at least over the long term.
