Example: I worked with like 2 people in upper management that got screwed over by the people they trusted. They got fired for the people they trusted underperforming or because the same people that kissed their asses went behind their back and got them fired one way or another.

You can't be too trusting in a job, especially if you're a manger or upper management. Since you have more eyes watching what you do and people plotting to get rid of you to take your title or have some of their friends take their title from you.
