What is the association going to do?

Ive been told by a higher up umpire in our assoc (although most definately not our top dogs) .. If you dump 1 per year, thats fine, if you dump 2, youre probably the problem. Thats totally BS IMO. .. but thats what I was told.
Luckily I know that at the top levels of our Assoc, the umpires are backed and our commish IS an umpire who will dump someone.
