In my experience managers are utterly horrible at giving early feedback to people who are not performing, and working with them to improve. It is I suppose part of human nature. People think it is awkward to deal with so they avoid it.

You have to consider that for society it is very wasteful to have people live off welfare schemes rather than working. Even if you are not a high performance worker, it is better for society that you are working than staying unemployed.

No amount of feedback can turn a lemon. Also, its not the role of corporations to play makework and pretend they are contributing. So someone gets fired and takes a job more befitting of their abilities... that's not welfare that's just life.
