Here's the current update as of COB today. Our General Manager, who lives in another country as he oversees the operation of a plant in that country, is on site as of yesterday afternoon. I learned that yesterday after I left, manager was escorted off the premises, and his access to the facility revoked. He is currently on suspension pending the results of the investigation. It has become very evident that regardless of the outcome, I can't continue to work there, as the entirety of the Tier 1 management team has completely ostracized me. Not a single one of them speaks to me, unless business issues make it necessary. But, that's really it as of now. I'll continue to go, and do my job, and await the investigation results. I'll update if anything new happens.

Not sure why you are being treated that way for literally walking away from conflict and the guy seeking out a fight in the form of text.

Sounds like you got the ball rolling and got everyone in a tiffy. Good that the manager is on suspension thats not a good look if he needs to return to the work force for another company.

Word has gotten around that there is shite going down between you and the plant manager and everyone wants to steer as clear of it as possible until all the dust settles. The avoidance doesn't necessarily mean people are against you, just that they don't want to risk getting caught in any of this.

Give it a month or three after the investigation is over to see how the work environment is. If you are still being avoided and frozen out by remaining management, be sure to document specific instances and then speak to your lawyer again to see if any/all fall under retaliatory practices.

TD Lawyers: any issue with him giving updates that involve advice from his lawyer? Does he waive any attorney client privilege with respect to potential future litigation by posting updates to a public forum?

This is probably less about "ostracizing" and more about keeping their mouths shut in the face of potential litigation on advice from their attorneys.

I would not automatically assume it's bad. Very well could be, but it also could be "we had to 'go dark' until the legalese was finished. They may want to talk/interact more normal, but can't.
