As a peer that's totally OK.

As the manager/lead I have an obligation to figure out if someone is just having temporary trouble or if they're simply a slacker by nature or just not good at their job. If that is the case it is my duty to get them out. They can slack off somewhere else and drag other people down, not me and my team.

Both for the company (I couldn't really care less in most cases, since the company doesn't care about us either) and for the rest of the team (I could never stand managers that let obviously bad/slacking people continue working alongside the rest of us that do their job properly and the slackers still get the same raises and potentially even negotiated a better salary, as they're probably good talkers, but bad walkers). I care for actual walk. I do not care for cheap talk but it's the most common.
