Boss wanted to talk about "workplace issues". Apparently I was in trouble for doing my job( professionally speaking and working with coworkers, techs, managers), although the upper management at the office apparently just can't stand that my job lets me not be chained to a desk and move about. Instead of a single soul mentioning something to me, they immediately talk to my boss bitc** and crying first about oh he did this, he is doing that. There was one single iota of truth wrapped up in a hurricane of lies, but ya know ..perception is reality. Boss says oh it's no big deal, everyone on the team wants you to do well. Had the audacity to ask me about a job opportunity knowing da well that I was blocked from above due to all this garbage. He-l, that news made it to me from outside the company before the guys from work told me and before we even had this conversation. All I could do was smile and play stupid. It was painful to listen to the politically correct version of my crucifixion. Really guy? Like I haven't amassed people here who gladly play both sides from the middle and report to me pretty much anytime anyone says anything about me. I even starting planting specific false information with one suspected party at a time to accurately identify who was telling the boss what.....and it worked lol. This so called team is driving the slow dagger and the obvious ones. GTFOH. Like I am ignorant to office politics. There will always be people who are unhappy because you are getting to do something they aren't. Whiny cow* bit**. All of them. The worst of them have higher positions than I did. But that's ok. The face you slap today might be attached to the a** you might have to kiss tomorrow but guess what? I won't forget. I'm off the payroll. Over very little of nothing. On to the next job. So.....who wants to be in a toxic management environment? I hear the 401k is good. Decades flushed for optics.

@bd Thank you Dr Freud. Maybe he was just wrongfully let go and is p*ssed/
- “my job lets me not be chained to a desk”
- “boss had the odacity to ask me about another job opportunity”
- “it was painful to listen to the politically correct version of their crucifiction”
Never thought I would see a non white person get let go for cause from Tbone.
Nothing specific to AT&T here. This is probably botspam trolling for engagement. If LLM's are so smart, how come they can't figure out what company's board they are on?
Honestly, you sound like a lot.
Good luck to you .
Snoozer
You sound like a high maintenance employee.
From the content, I’d lean toward this being a mix of a genuinely toxic work situation + an individual with strong distrust and poor emotional regulation, possibly under significant stress.
If this is their normal communication style, it might indicate deeper mental health struggles or a long-standing combative worldview.
If this is a one-off vent after a career-ending disappointment, it might just be extreme situational anger.
and this is what paranoia looks like in the wild. Get some help.
“although the upper management at the office apparently just can't stand that my job lets me not be chained to a desk and move about”
So you were going gone for hours at a time and thought this was okay?
