Not to me. Just reads like they want to ditch low performers.

(They might or might not still want to ditch 'ethical people', no clue. It just doesn't read that way here.)

It's a framing issue, just like what Tesla recently did. Now they have the agency to clean house as they see fit with the excuse of "turning up the heat on performance" to hide behind.
