Other good senior people in the team see your performance. In big companies this is normal as nobody will want to upset other people feeling. Managers will also refrain from firing because it reflects on them badly, stop them from building an empire, and hiring is hard. I am finding that Price's law[1] is very true in programming. You have two pizza teams that have 1-3 top performers carry the rest of the team/project. As long, you are not annoying, team would keep you. There is a very thin line when top performers can become unhappy with a company, project, or team and leave. People that were previously coasting might get more involved or the team implodes.
