The people who make firing decisions often aren't the ones doing the day-to-day work.
It's very possible to be replaced by a machine that does a worse job, as long as your (ex-) boss isn't aware of it.
Or sometimes they are aware, but it's enough cheaper that they don't care.
Or sometimes its a job they legally need to have but where they really don't want quality work (e.g. support).
