The guy who wanted me gone was pleasant to me for years, then suddenly when he found out my religious position he started calling me derogatory names even in front of my coworkers, and he demanded my firing after bad-mouthing me religiously for a week or two. I had lots of witnesses. HR director called their lawyer who ordered them to leave me alone unless they want to settle a huge lawsuit. I stayed for a while but the tensions were high, so I left eventually. | |

I worked at a place for 7 or 8 years when, out of the blue, someone in a position of authority several tiers above me wanted me gone for completely non-work related issues. My boss did not want to fire me; he told me that he had no choice but to do so, as he was informed by HR that he would be fired for insubordination if he did not fire me. Sucks, but he doesn't need to go down with me. Fortunately (or unfortunately, point-of-view depending), in my case what they were doing was completely illegal. @JavaGuru | |
