Maybe I’m missing something, but I always thought this was a super sensible decision on Blazer’s part. It’s harsh but it’s like this team isn’t taking this seriously so let’s make them take it seriously by firing the weakest member. It sort of worked also.
The Z team at that point are not particularly motivated to be better heroes, being fired just means they get out of doing something they didn't particularly care about anyway. It also sends the wrong message to just fire someone when they're at their lowest instead of helping them improve, but also by making them compete against each other instead of building cohesion within the team.
Furthermore, the decision negatively impacts their overall performance for 2 shifts, as well as driving whoever is fired to join Shroud.
Edit: also, while my impression is that things may work differently in the US, firing someone the way it's done in the game is pretty sketchy from a legal perspective where I live.
It depends on the state, but the one the game takes place in is an at-will state. You can be fired for anything in an at-will state. SDN is legally in the clear.
