[quote=Anonymous]I do think in a lot of cases, maybe not the majority of firings but close to half come down to how well you fit in with the team and whether you are liked by management or are just seen as an asset because of something unrelated to performance.

I’ve seen so many awful employees stay and thrive with tons of support because management just likes them, maybe even relates to them— they went to the same school, they all are part of the same tennis club, are part of the same friend circle. Or they’re from money or are related to someone who holds a political office. I truly don’t believe success is always performance-based. Someone decides after three months, “ugh, she reminds me of that former employee who sued us ten years ago, ick, get her out of my face. And I hate her sweaters, too.” Or the employee hasn’t been brown-nosing enough and stroking egos, so out the door because the team wants to hire that person they just interviewed who’s dad is the head of some big corporation.

So yeah, I think it’s just who the person is or isn’t. [/quote]
