If this is the culture then the person being cut loose is the winner. Not much warning is bad management / leadership.

This is done because when employees are let go they could become potentially hostile to the company. That's why they don't inform people beforehand of the firing.

What should absolutely be done is inform him of the exact performance problem and steps to improve. An actual well intended PIP and not just a way to throw someone out.

I guess he means that they didn’t have any negative feedback until then.
