I think firing someone that is just starting out is a sign of a bad company culture. Such an event doesn't reflect an engineer, especially a junior engineer's potential skill.
Any company willing to invest in a junior developer should be willing to help them along regardless of their experience level, as it should be expected.
I'm thankful this hasn't happened to me, and hope it isn't common. But for anyone who has had it happen, I hope they understand it's the companies problem, not something wrong with themselves.
How’s it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.

This sounds like being fired was a blessing in disguise for this person, working here would be unhealthy
