What makes you say that? I feel like they give you a heads up by saying "stop fucking up" before they fire you

Depends what level for the heads up. Juniors usually get the "so, how do you think you're performing" question well in advance. Seniors more often walk in one day and get called to a meeting where they are summarily dismissed, similar to what happened to Michael Bolton and Samir in Office Space.

Is anyone ever off of it?

So squirrels decided to eat my engine harness (thanks Honda for your eco friendly wiring).
I got it fixed but the acceleration still feels sluggish even when slamming the acceleration on sport mode. It’s a 2017 Honda Civic turbo and used to have a pretty fun acceleration. Any ideas what could be the culprit or where to look? Things like bad ECU/ messed up turbo/ air leak?
