My sister had a marketing gig that she got let go of, because she was so good at selling her product that the company said they established strong markets in her area and didn’t need the publicity anymore.
Exactly that: too good at her job.

the Goldilocks zone of just fucked up enough

Hahaha, I love it

The longer you work anywhere – and I mean ANYWHERE – the more you see the bullshit and corruption and crappy rules or policies and inequality all over.
For me it has been about the 3 year mark anywhere I’ve worked: once you get past that, you fade away from “damn I’m glad to have a job and be making money!” and towards “this is absolute bulls#!t that [boss] did [thing] and hurt the workers in the process!” or similar
