Fired over Quota even as Top Sales Person

When I sit down they start talking about “oh you haven't set up any “tv service accounts” since the 9th” and how I need to work harder on trying to sell this in the future. They ended up writing me up even though I was soaring above everyone's quota. I quit…

I don't get why employers are like this I was the number one in sales in my district for the 9 months I worked there. They don't even reward success nowadays.
