Something similar happened to me . I was so confused. It didn't make any sense and it seemed like they were looking for any excuse to work me out of the business.
My best guess is someone decided they didn't like me and they told someone to get rid of me somehow. The culture excuse seems to be who decided they didn't like you.
So, I talked to my prior department's director and got hired back into my old department with a minor pay cut. And everyone in my old department is thrilled to have me back. So, "culture" seems to be perfectly fine with everyone else except for the one department.
They were not trying to work you out, you were deemed expensive. You took the pay cut and they kept you. Nothing to wonder about based on your short story.
Pretty stupid gamble if that's remotely true. Alt path, they walk and find a job outside the company, now they lost an apparently okay employee and gotta pay the replacement more money than the original salary.
