Yea, I think it really depends on if the team's manager is getting comments from other devs on the team about the person getting fired. I had a QA get fired from one of my teams way back and while I liked them as a person, it was clear they weren't doing good work or having any real focus on what they were assigned, unlike their peers in the role, so it made sense. I would add, a big point of the announcement should be "And we'll be expediting backfilling them". The worst sort of firings/quits is when management sits on their hands for weeks in replacing them.
