Starting to get PTSD from it. Awhile back he threatened to fire me for things like being blocked by other things.
Last Friday night, I was part of a deal to migrate an AWS EMR cluster from Intel instances, to graviton. My end went fine. A pair of apps was having issues coming up. I was released as I was done. I made sure to let everyone know that they could call me and I’d come help.
The next afternoon, Saturday, I got a call from bossman. I was in the middle of a home project that has been repeatedly delayed due to work things happening off hours. I didn’t answer, and was left a vm That I can only describe as psychotic, where I was threatened with being fired due to the “failed migration” - no room for human error, didn’t follow SOPs, maximum punishment of firing, under investigation, but the co prides itself on being very fair (???).
At this point I had assumed the apps with issues were back up as I’d had no comms to say otherwise. None. Not an email, Not a slack msg, no one had called looking for help. I was very concerned.
So, my question: at what point does this become actionable harassment?
My actions so far: fwd vm to HR (after having previously talked to them about the threats). Also sent vm to a director level dude outside of my chain of command, that went to his vp, and the CTO with this.
I’d add that we’ve lost at least 3 people since this guy took over, and morale absolutely sucks in my group right now.
And yes, I am TOTALLY, looking for a new gig. I thought I had something lined up, but the department was given enough headcount after fiscal year end and reqs had to be shuffled around and my position was tossed over board.
I intend to vote with my feet, but in the mean time I. We’d to protect myself and my fam.
Advice kindly requested.
