> if you’re good enough to get in, you’re good enough to stay.

Just because someone was great in the past doesn’t mean they automatically are great now or what a team needs in the future. The bar keeps raising, new people challenge the status quo, etc. So no, juts because you were good enough to get in doesn’t mean you’re good enough to stay forever.

You must be very young. There most likely will be periods in your life when you will be less productive because you have other responsibilities or health issues and new (coughs young people) have very few of both. If a company or your government aren't there to help and support you then what the point of a society even is? To protect rich people's assets?

If a company or your government aren't there to help and support you then what the point of a society even is? For sure, I'm not saying fire someone at the first sign in a dip in productivity. But it is also true that highly tenured peers can become complacent and others exceed their performance in a sustained way.
