Was it your first job? How did you perform compared with other developers?

Expectations vary between workplaces. This isn't a pattern until it has happened at multiple companies.

The people who have been fired from teams I've worked with have either had trouble completing tasks or been unable to collaborate with others.

no it wasnt my first job, 2 years experience.. but i feel like every time i start a job the first 2 months i get this feedback over and over. but a few months later noone has any negative feedback, what do people expect from peoples first month? feels like they expect full competency within a certain timeframe (less than a month). i have trouble finding other people expectations so dont know how to meet what i dont know

Don't worry about it then. Some people are faster at starting than others. Just do your best and don't worry about it until this happens again.
