No one is fired for doing too good of a job, but they are fired for cheating.
I can't really tell you how untrue this is in my line of work. I work with media/art directors/editors who don't really enjoy any new talent showing up and making them look mediocre. Most of the guys who have started the independent comic book/movie companies and photography firms and have become pretty famous ended up there because of a row with an editor/Hollywood exec/producer. When the artists at the bottom of the totem pole start getting the idea that they can tell better stories than the people who are in charge of reviewing performance, people get fired. It's a sad reality. We get paid decently but when some of us get too good for certain egos, we have two options - fly away and start our own outfits like I did or wait around for that office talk.
