Perhaps you aren't the supervisor you think you are. I have performed at my job with new hires and 10yr vets.
It's about motivating and understanding strengths and weaknesses.
I had a new guy who wasn't great at selling and computer work so I worked with him but I didn't need to on physical stuff. With my veteran he is a monster at selling and computer but can't do the physcial aspects so I cover for him. At the end of the day I hit my metrics and get the praise.
While you fire these people and hire new ones you should also reflect on what you could have done to be a better leader and what you need to improve on.

The only professional/right way to fire is simple.
Don't start with "good morning/ how are you?/small talk.
Simply state that their services are no longer needed and you are terminating their employment.
If they ask why, simply tell them their performance was not meeting expectations.
If they push for explanation tell them "decision has been made and wish them well in the future.
More importantly, if you are managing properly, it should NOT be a surprise to them.
