This guy couldn’t even look me in the eye and was as white as a sheet delivering the news as he knew it was total nonsense, truth is that he hated sharing my successes and was hypercritical of everything I did and was constantly seeking ways to criticise me. Other team members had also noticed this in out dynamic and had even said that it’s clear this guy my manager is trying to do whatever he can to prove I shouldn’t be there. When I smashed all the performance targets he was shocked and then fabricated reasons as to why i don’t fit i to the environment and how there are hesitancies around my approach to work. I’d developed great working relationships with the whole team and this guy hated the fact i was doing so well. Turns out time spent in a company is more important that the right thing to do in supporting an isolated and manipulted team member.
