I’m being targeted at my job

I work as a psychiatric technician. I was recently called in (mid shift, mind you) for a “documented discussion,” for which I had to give my signature and everything. A documented discussion is a step short of a corrective action. Apparently I’m being reported by my “coworkers” (read coworker singular, as I later found out) for a variety of grievances I have never had a single coworker address with me directly, and that my other coworkers deny that I do.

Management is unabashedly believing a particular staff who is targeting me with little to no corroboration. I found out from another coworker that this same staff had targeted them in a similar way when they first started working at the company, yet, likely because they act as an “informant” of sorts to management, had not been reprimanded or fired. I have multiple other institutions reaching out to me requesting a interview with me. I’ll be putting in my very honest two weeks the second I get a solid interview. I want this to serve as a reminder to everyone on this sub that if your work environment is non-communicative and unhealthy, there are other environments that are more hospitable. To employers, I want this to be a reminder that healthier workplaces are always hiring.
