Lately, it seems that every project that goes off track is suddenly my fault. I was just following the plans and deadlines THEY approved. It’s frustrating to get a bad review for problems I clearly didn’t create. This pattern is getting really old, really fast.

You must work in implementation.
It was a long time ago in the company, but for me, they just gave me zero work to do.
I sat there with nothing to do while my peers were ki-ling themselves. But they froze me out on purpose.
I ended up transferring out. Got lucky.
For those of you with tenure / or who have experienced it, what are the tactics used to try get you to leave? Or some of the things said to you? Looking for similar red flags.
Management is never wrong. And even when they are unequivocally wrong with evidence, HR will jump in to protect management at all costs. HR is not there for rank and file employees, they are all cannon fodder and always expendable.
@ae
Easier said than done, getting HR involved has never done anything for anybody but fast track them getting fired, surprised to see comments on this thread where they actually did their job (held leadership accountable for bogus writeups).Been here nearly a decade, too long, and not once anything good I’ve seen when people turn in leadership. Not worth it, get out while you can HR is not our friend.
@aq Good on you for reporting it to HR.
Say no to wannabe monarchs.
This happened to me. I was put on a PIP for marking a project red when approved deadlines had been blown through and the milestones had to be recalibrated. When I came back with proof to HR, the PIP was dropped but it was very clear management was going to try and get rid of me. Ended up leaving before my life became he-l. Watch your back!
You should call them out/complain on it if you have proof they approved of plans and deadlines. Be part of the movement that gets rid of bad leadership.
