> perceived value.

I think that’s the critical word here. Perception is reality when it comes to these things. I have no idea but I’d assume decision makers do not perceive enough future value coming from this team to make it worth keeping them on. They could be wrong but no one will ever really know.

Especially when the "perceived value" is avoiding a loss.

If I come in and cut the bottom line by $15 million, I'm amazing.

If I come in and fix a problem that was going to raise the bottom line by $15 million, I'm amazing for about five minutes and then forgotten.
