Critical point, and absolutely true in my case. With change in management all past successful projects are "failures" now. Instead of using x, y, z projects uses a, b, c so leadership is kind to dismiss me with prejudice.

How will you get bonus if you don't do anything different?

How will you do anything different if you don't ignore/brush-aside past successes and focus on replacing them with new things?

How will you keep moving up if you don't repeat this cycle?

All items true. I dug my own grave by telling management look, we can already do all new features by reusing same system at much less expense.
