Job security

This is not exactly a rant, but I'm frustrated.

During my second season in Swedish Hockeyallsvenskan (GM only) I was doing great, the rebuild I was set to do for Tingsryd was ahead of schedule and I was at the top of the league. Finances good, prospect pool good, I had two kids drafted and on NHL contracts.

With ten games to go I was fired, and I don't understand why.
Yes, I had some problems with harmony and cliques but the harmony meter was never below 80% ish. The fans were happy too.

Every time I got my owner report in the mail they said they were satisfied, the fans were happy and that "I should ignore any rumors that they are interviewing my potential replacement".

I honestly don't get it. Has anyone figured this mechanic out?

I turned on commissioner mode and became GM again, won the league and been winning basically every game since, but the meter is still ticking down and is now in the red.

There was a recently-fixed bug that could've done this. Was your job security number high when the firing happened?

No, it was in the red.

Not the bug I was thinking of, then, but it's strange that your security was so low if you were doing that well. Could you upload that save? (uploading instructions here) I'd like to see exactly what happened there.
