HR and Legal have evolved to protect company interests, so they will limit straightforward conversations about terminating you to phone calls. The approach is NOT always direct, but relies on cues and inferred “guidance” to fire because of risk you pose, so document EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING!
1. Time and date of conversations.
2. Relevant emails / phone calls.
3. Meetings added or removed.
4. Meeting participants.
5. Removal of access to documents / shared drives.
6. ANY changes in managing status or direct reports.
7. ALL communication with manager / HR.
