It’s not necessarily that the company is doing so well, it’s that the company thinks it can continue to do well without you.
So in reality, it’s the companies perception of the employees and not being the driving factor to their value.
Key word is “continue”. Perhaps they needed you at one point, but now that you put in the legwork to achieve some benchmark, they think you’re not as useful anymore.
Classic “squeeze people for all they are worth” thinking.
