I think that firing can mean administrative failure if:
you did not provide adequate training, or you did not make yourself clear as to what their duties are.
you managed to hire someone who really was not qualified.
you were so giddy to hire a qualified person, you overlooked obvious personality clashes that would happen.
you changed software/hardware/other job requirements years later, without providing adequate REtraining.
If the person not performing does not know what is expected of them, if they believe that they are doing what it expected of them, then they should not be cut immediately.
If an employee is lazy or confrontational...well it can still be considered an admin failure for not seeing it before the hire. But hey, sometimes you have to cut your losses (like MSD's boss in above post).
