I feel like the fact that this person is posting this now indicates that all of the I's weren't dotted. As you note, ideally, it would be very clear -- you need to improve by this date. Here are the checkpoints, and if you don't then you will be terminated on about this date -- and here are the financial implications of the termination. I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem like these sorts of steps were taken.
