In my case, the project we wrote an OP1 for was judged to be too technically complex such that anyone capable of executing on it would be a "flight risk" capable of commanding higher pay elsewhere. Therefore they decided to destaff the effort and wait for me to prove them right rather than give me a couple engineers and enough rope to hang myself (which I wouldn't have most likely given my track record that established me as a "flight risk" apparently). Can we say self-fulfilling prophesy?
