If a good doctor cures their patients to no longer need them, should they be fired?

Absolutely not. The jobs that are the most respectable are the ones where your job is to put yourself out of a job. Management can be a noble profession because of this.

I 100% agree they have scaled / transcended their “job” at that point.



It could be as well that the patients were never sick to begin with. The doctor was not needed to begin with (middle management is not always needed, but “we’ve always done it like that”)
