Good on you. Went through some bullshit myself recently. Got a surprise visit from the RM and then my boss confronts me about my performance issues which had never been brought up to me to correct. All of the supposed issues were regular as fuck, and some happened over a year ago, corrected, not a big deal. I got pissed, this guy is so hard to work with and I have covered for his ass so much that I was in shock, like utter disbelief. I would bend over backwards to help make shit go smooth. Not to mention I have worked twice as hard to the point of danger and don't complain about how much the job sucks all day like he does because I actually want to be there and love it.
The big boss felt something was off and asked if just me and him could take a walk. I laid it out and just said everything he said is bullshit. I just laid it out clear, had proof for plenty of it and the RM was like, you aren't the first person to have an issue with him, but you are the first person willing to stand up to it, and that's what I need you to keep doing, because there have been issues with this dude for a while. He even apologized, followed up, visited me at home to talk (I have housing provided).
It might sound like overkill but there was talk about doubts for my future in there. And we work just the two of us so upper management has no idea what's actually going on here. They come up and visit a couple times a year. My RM is super cool and I spoke to him like I would any of my friends. I said that guys is a fucking asshole for that, I can work with him, but I have lost all trust and respect for him. And the RM totally understood. So this whole thing originally was about me and even HR was given a heads up in case, I don't know they fired me or something, but now all the focus is on the rat, and rightly so. You don't ask someone to watch your dogs for you and all these other dumb personal favors and then go tell that persons boss that you are unreliable and shitty. Why trust me with your fucking dogs if that's how I roll?
Some fools might remember my old job, I had the unions coming who then dropped the ball, covid happened, then I was able to quit for this job. But after I left I heard they made a bunch of changes which coincidentally had to do with what I said when I still worked there and reiterated in my exit interview sheet. They got rid of the lady I kind of went to war with, at least moved her elsewhere. I do not like doing that shit at all, it draws attention to you and I am very much someone who tries to avoid conflict, and never wants to be thought of as a complainer. But if someone is fucking with me or making up shit that could put my career at risk I don't give a fuck, that's too much and I get super motivated to make it twice as bad for them.
WHEW, sorry, that shit really fucked me up the last 2 months, but its better now.
