I’m sorry you dealt with that, an I’m very familiar with it. You’re absolutely right, to management you are nothing more than a drone. It doesn’t matter how important you are to the company, what level you are, once they have decided you’re out it’s over. There is no amount of fighting, rallying, or anything you can do. They will find a way to oust you.
Same applies if you’re in an HR thing, a legal thing, just got on someone’s bad side. Even if you win, they’ll just fabricate a reason to get rid of you with just enough data to justify it in court. As soon as you catch wind, start looking for your next place
I have been jaded enough that I’m sort of numb to it now. I’m only working towards my retirement. Office gossip, dynamics, culture means nothing to me. 90% of my job is optics. The rest is real work. My only job is to try and keep my job as long as possible and nothing more.
