The most useful thing you can do at work costs nothing and takes ten minutes a week.
Write it down.
Not a diary. A log. Date, what happened, who said it, who else heard it. Keep it somewhere your employer can't reach, which means not on the work laptop and not in the work email.
Forward the things you're allowed to keep to a personal address. Your reviews. Your offer letter. The email where your manager praised the work they now say was a problem.
Here's why it matters. Almost every employment case comes down to one question: can you show it. Memory isn't evidence. A note you made that Tuesday afternoon is.
Start today, even if nothing is wrong yet. Especially if nothing is wrong yet.
