A co-worker of mine was let go and the consensus amongst the team was an unspoken understanding that although they have 4+ years of experience, they never leveled up past the Junior level.

Have you ever had a co-worker like this?

Is there anything management could've done differently, or are some engineers just hopeless? Is there something we as co-workers could've done differently?

I wouldn't like to add further details for privacy's sake, so I'm more hoping to hear about others' experiences rather than the circumstances here.
