Notes -
It's even worse, both managers and ICs are given bonuses and promotions for doing something important; "kept the lights on in a mildly unpopular service with no growth potential" is not a career-boosting result. This means everyone flees the team maintaining this service like rats flee a sinking ship. It's a vicious cycle, and even if at some point the service ends up with a stable skeleton team that is happy to just keep it working, from a mile-high perspective it still looks like "a mildly unpopular service with no growth potential managed by a team of C's", which translates to "nuke the service, dissolve the team and put everyone involved on PIPs".
