More idioms for the day: 鸟尽弓藏 “When the birds are gone, the bow is put away.” 兔死狗烹 “When the rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked.” 过河拆桥 “Cross the river, then tear down the bridge.”

There’s just a Chinese idiom: “功高盖主”: if you shine too much, the boss might feel threatened. In history: Han Xin and Yue Fei were war heroes who helped win it all, but got killed by their own boss.
