Counterpoint: they're harassing you, and quitting means they've acheived their goal of getting rid of you.
So fight back with everything you've got. Collect all the evidence that you can and report that shit to your manager. Call him ten times a day if necessary. They're literally doing illegal shit and trying to frame you for it.
Don't let them fight dirty and win without putting up a fight.
But that's just me, you do what's best for you. -
@endor Part 2 afterwards: offer to just do what they want, i.e. give in and quit, BUT only if they pay good compensation.

They installed a keylogger on your machine? And created malicious scripts, blaming them on you?!
That is insane. That's not just harassment, that's sabotage.
You need to seriously make a thorough note of all that's happened and then take it to HR. If they refuse to budge, I'd probably be quitting then suing them for constructive dismissal. -
Wow that's insane. You shouldn't have to put up with that kind of bullshit. I'd keep a detailed log of what you're are doing during the day and what things are being done to you and when. Try to create some sort of paper trail. I mean if they're installing keyloggers on your computer and trying to frame you by crashing sites, that has to be illegal. If there's noone in the company you can turn to for help you might be stuck having to quit, and then you have the crappy option of sueing or just letting them get away with it. But hopefully you can report this to HR or something?
You should keep the job and the paycheck for now and just do the minimum of what they ask of you. Spend the rest of the time looking for something better and polishing your resume. And make sure to keep your name clean. -
Stay in there for a bit since it’s going to be very hard to get a job right now.
But yes document all this shit and hopefully you get an exit interview where you can present this.
I am sorry you are having a tough time, you always have devrant to vent.
It sound like the manager can see your talent can you be put on another project away from this toxic piece of shit? -
Also if you wait and get laid off you might get a good severence package.
My friend hated his job and they communicated they were doing layoffs. He volunteered and saved someone else’s job in the process.
He received a severence and extended unemployment benefits since he was laid off and did not quit.
The fact they didn’t lay you off says something.
I think I want to quit.
I know it’s a bit of an inconvenient time with there being corona around but everything was okay up till January. I’m a junior even though I shouldn’t be. Since my manager told me and my team leader senior in my review “maybe you two should switch jobs” things have been going downhill. I think the team lead had it out for me and didn’t put me on a new project, I’ve been left with doing stupid basic shit like updating text on websites in a cms and doing fuck all and then there’s also another guy that was basically harassing me trying to put me in my place any time I was doing better than him and literally both of them been like that ... and now that I’m working from home it’s even worse. I don’t have any kind of assurance that everything okay and actually I think I’m being framed as welll since I found keyloggers on my work laptop and deleted cleaned shit up the past two weeks and changed my WiFi security as there were like 5 unknown devices on our network so yeah .. I’ve been framed and they made it out like I put a powershell script on one of the servers and it crashed a Porsche website for 8 h and all kinds of bullshit - this was yday. On Tuesday they logged me out of everything like changed the password for work vpn and kicked me out of slack and Microsoft teams for over 2 hours till the end of shift and two managers weren’t answering their phone and then next day my manager called and apologised that saying that he “accidentally” did that to me along with 15 people they let go from the company....
I’m seriously thinking of quitting being removed from team group for a moment , not being on a project and people literally trying to put me down after I know I’m genuinely smarter than them and if I had over 10 years experience like those on my team (I have 1) I’d be far higher up and better
They can genuinely just go fuck themseves !!!! And here I was going to work over weekend on something! No fucking way I just wanna quit or give in my notice but because of corona I’m divided
