My main issue is that 3 months is not enough time to know if someone can do the job unless you are constantly hiring in groups and only retaining those that catch on quickest. Thats a shitty way to treat employees unless its known upfront by all new hires.

This is a direct result of all the job hopping that has been going. Employees have to produce and do it quickly because you don't have the luxury of slowly developing them.

And she was caught by surprise? She hasn't closed a single sale and is in sales. What did she expect?

I guess that depends on whether or not she’s being truthful about her meetings with her manager. If her manager wasn’t being honest and kept giving her positive feedback, then that’s BS.

That’s why they should’ve had more of a reason and why her manager should’ve been in on the call.

I worked at this place. It's pretty common knowledge among salespeople and management that you're lucky to get a deal done in your first three months and they don't really expect much from you in your first six months. She just happened to get caught up in a wave of mass sales staff reduction. Normally she would have had a bit more leeway. Average deal cycle for cybersecurity purchases is just over three months.
