The implosion

My job has been hell for the last two years and is getting worse. Over the last few weeks, a small number of new hires have banded together, enlisted the aid of our director ( with ample flattery) and so far have forced out my direct supervisor as of today. I am the only guy who works here during the day ( between 11 am and 930pm). I've been pulled into several meetings were I get told ab things “people” are saying about me. I don't work with that many people so it's easy to figure out. One of the three new hires was hired to be what basically amounts to an assistant supervisor, except she hasn't actually done the job in 15 years. Yesterday my director ambushed me into a meeting while my supervisor was out. She mentioned that someone ( once again, under ten people) overheard me say…

Yesterday my director ambushed me into a meeting while my supervisor was out. She mentioned that someone ( once again, under ten people) overheard me say I am irreplaceable. She looked smug and said ” everyone is replaceable.”

Ok.

After being told my supervisor is leaving in two weeks, I have decided to stop doing everything I do extra to keep things running. I have tried to teach others about these tasks and their importance. I basically get told that's my job, “as the man”. It's also been said there's a belief that I cause mechanical problems just so I can fix them to look good. Considering I get zero thanks or additional money, that makes zero sense.

Ok.

I have roughly 45 days left on a 2 year contract. If they fire me, I don't have to pay the signing bonus back. If they fire me after the flurry of emails and texts that have been sent with conversations about getting rid of me, my lawsuit is going to be easy money. I work because I enjoy the work. It's important and I work in a hospital in one of the poorest parts of town.

Tl;Dr: people are trying to force me out of a job I enjoy for reasons I don't understand.
