So, I've sorta known I was on the way out from my job for a few months now. I live in SF and the job is in san jose (I'm probably also going to post this in the bay area sub). I work remote most the time.

Was going to work on automating some of their crap but then one of my coworkers got a bug up their ass about me and it demotivated me so I stopped trying to improve the system.

Then, because of that coworker, the boss got involved and despite me showing that everything the coworker was complaining about they were doing and more. Still, the coworker had seniority and was liked so I ended up under a microscope... and I definitely struggle to handle all the moving parts (it's why I wanted to automate things, would have made my job way easier). I'd already threaded some things together... made a group team chat since we were all passing info around 1 to 1 instead of coordinating. when we had large compliance projects I made quick guide pictures for clients and I saw my co worker use it (the same one that complained later). I'd even taught my boss easier ways to shift the network around so if one of the end points became a liability we could sever it without it needing a rebuild to reconnect it to the network.

Anyways, while under the microscope, because of this stress my performance with all the moving parts suffered more and its just been a slow spiral. I knew it, I saw work was seeing it... it just wasn't going anywhere good.

I saw other department heads start to look at me, then they started having meetings... the writing was on the wall.

To be honest, I was ready for it.

However, when they finally pulled the trigger and called me in to start 'giving me warnings' and all that hr process... they then got really way too over general about it all. instead of it being certain low priority moving parts being neglected it became that I was neglecting my whole job. That didn't sit well with me at all. I can accept being booted for shit I'm doing wrong, but I will not allow people to stain name with more than that.

Whats worse, when they did the email... as I started replying... they slipped in the CEO's email. Oh man.

I let my boss know this was really a problem, it was too much.

Thing is, they haven't fired me... the CEO and everyone saw me saying it was too much and that I knew I was on the way out and was ganna let them do their thing but now? and yet, I'm still employed?

It feels REALLY uncomfortable.

I kinda plan to get a lawyer, present all the info I have, and see what my options are but in the meantime. I'm not sure how to handle it all. Told work I dont feel well and cant work tomorrow... kinda considering telling them I cant go into the office next week but I also kinda want to go in and wipe my office computer (so they cant somehow use it against me). but I'm worried if I go into the office they will try to call me into more uncomfortable meetings... or worse, when I log into the computer they will take it over at that point... Dunno what to do.
