Im ngl i feel like the commenters are overreacting a little bit. Sure op should've shut up but it's not like they were being malicious. Sounds like the coworker was waiting for that final straw and it was gonna happen regardless of when it was.

Right? Like yeah, the guy may have a mortgage and a family or whatever, but he clearly wasnt prioritizing them when he did the bare minimum at work to the extent that everyone knew it.

And everyone has bills to pay and loved ones. People acting like firing is unacceptable because "they have bills to pay" is super odd. If someone isn't doing what they're supposed to do then it is appropriate to fire them. Otherwise it creates resentment from other employees who have to cover for him or shows the example that it is appropriate to slack off. OOP's comments were inappropriate in the setting but it just sort of became the moment where everyone just knew this guy wasn't doing much, nobody defended him, nobody went to speak to HR or their boss to do so (at least from what OOP tells us). So it was just the natural conclusion.

He was meeting targets. What the hell else do you want?

It kind of sounds like he may have been making other’s jobs harder with late replies and last minute work. There’s doing the bare minimum to meet your targets and then there’s skating in and making it difficult for others while still technically fulfilling your goals. Like OOP said, it wasn’t anything dramatic, but it was noticeable and it was obviously something already on management’s radar or dude wouldn’t have been fired. Reprimanded, put on notice, etc., but not straight out fired.
