They also said they'd put me in a different "role" when I came back from vacation. I suspected something was up but it seemed genuine. I called up the lawyer and put a halt to the letter being sent.
I took 3 weeks vacation and came back a few weeks ago only to find out the budget wasn't approved and contractors who were on my project were let go and I'm taking up much of that work. It's not something I've done before but I'd take it up I told them.
Yesterday I have my performance review and they gave me a terrible rating (first time in my career), and they put it in writing, skirting many of the truths. Now it's apparent they stopped what was turning out a PIP, so that my performance rating would be rated badly and I'd have one bad one on the record to cover themselves for what may come next. They wrote I'm not suited for the role and exaggerated/biased a lot of what their perception was. Further in our discussion she didn't read me all that until after. I'll have to respond today in a rebuttal.
I'm desperate to find another role in my organization. I've never seen this happen but they just want to save money by giving me a hard time to quit. I'm reaching out to my internal network but the mental state they've put me in the past few months has been terrible. I started the employee assistance program for mental health but it wasn't useful (psychotherapist late, ending sessions early to get to their next, effectively leaving 15-20 mins talk time). So I'm starting to see a psychotherapist outside of the assistance program to deal with this anxiety and frustration. I'm not sure what I can do legally but they've put me in a terrible situation. I don't want to walk away from 18 or so years of service but my confidence is a 2, and motivation daily a 3. I feel they pulled a quick one the past couple months just so they could get this into my year end review to screw me further financially.

####ing horrible.
I saying this knowing changing jobs/companies isn't easy but why would you want to stay in that organization.
Before this current role (2 1/2 yrs) I was with a big company (11yrs). I watched how they backstabbed and drove out one of my contemporaries who had been there 17 yrs and was key to their growth over those years.
Corporate Leadership in conjunction with HR ####ed him proper.
It was awful to see, but made me realized if that is how they treated him how would they treat me.
Do yourself a favour and look.
I thought my options were small but have found a better role for more $$ and more responsibility.
