On this episode we continue Johnny’s story—an autistic high performer whose career took a dangerous turn shortly after disclosing his disability and receiving a remote work accommodation.

What looked like operational restructuring turned out to be something else entirely: a deliberate setup. Johnny was reassigned to a high-volume, high-risk process he hadn’t touched in years—without notice, without training, and without support. He immediately raised red flags.

He documented his need for guidance. He stayed professional. But the silence from leadership was deafening.

Then came the line no one forgets:

“Yeah, I know. Sorry—I threw you under the bus. But I had to do it.”

From that moment on, Johnny’s requests were ignored, his learning curve weaponized, and mistakes that could’ve been avoided became ammunition for write-ups filled with loaded, accusatory language. All this while teammates in similar roles weren’t held to the same standard.

This episode exposes how plausible deniability becomes a shield for managerial sabotage—and how "support" can quickly become a smokescreen for retaliation.
