Because actual high performers, people with actual brains who think aren’t valued. Their definition of a “high performer” is a yes ma’am/sir kind of worker who cuts corners and does a pi-s poor job but works fast, in effect helps company save money and make metrics for leadership look good.

Because these fools that they have put in director roles are intimidated by people who actually know what they are doing. You are a target if you are not an a-s-kisser.

If you believe the company cares about retaining talent they have invested many years in, think again.
If it means saving a few dollars for a couple months, they’re all over it, even if it means all that knowledge goes to a competitor.

It's not about performance; it's about money and greed!
$94 billion is not enough... they give no bonuses nor raises to those who work.
It's all for their pockets and shareholder value.
It is just a money making machine.
Reduce cost increase profits and shareholder value.
Simple math.

Because the director who selected their name didn't like them? Yes directors and managers are given a list and told to select. Don't let them fool you. It's ok because their day is next even when they think they are safe.
