Some people are impressed by strong (yet abusive) personalities, and some are completely turned off by the same thing. I think that MAYBE, while she was able to impress some of the people around her, she rubbed someone higher up in authority the wrong way, and she got fired. Also, there are people (i.e., suck-ups, sycophants, et cetera) who attach themselves to assertive, abrasive people to protect themselves from their ire, and maybe even get a "free ride" when/if the abrasive person gets promoted. I strongly suspect that the people who were attracted to her are even now disavowing themselves of their own actions.
Are you saying this girl had a strong personality that attracted people so much? That is probably true. Maybe I have a weaker personality, like I come across as placid and timid? Could that be the answer? I'm not scratching my head at this thought...
