Primary issue here seems more like a manager who was not trying to help her grow. I see this end horribly much too often in large companies- focus of the project shifts and manager assigns task which is a bad fit. Employee struggles for 6 months or more (probably within the 1yr 'no transfer' period many companies have). Manager doesn't try to find a better project, reviews slip, employee is warned that perf must improve but by then the manager has it in for them and because of low perf they cannot transfer.
