Not always. I have seen cases where the most productive/well liked person on the team has got fired cause they made the wrong people look bad.

Did that turn out bad for the team? Not really. Life goes on. And sometimes its just a good learning experience for both parties.

That sounds more like a testament to the sociopathic nature of business in practice, rather than the ideal way to carry it out.
