I spent most of my adult life in an organization that was quite willing to act with disregard for my career when my performance was detrimental to the goals of the organization. I had no problem with that, because I was usually pulling my weight. And neither did the other folks who were pulling theirs. Frankly, we were all glad to be in an organization that valued us, and our mission, enough to have the courage to excise those that deserved to be excised. And to pile on, perhaps needlessly, but what the hey...I find the notion that an organization--any organization--shouldn't make a necessary change simply because of the possibility of another change down the road, to be preposterous. No organization I have ever been in has had that view. None.
