I know! It's hilarious now. What's more, they had decided it was specifically threatening one person. The reason appeared to be that I had included some information about her not doing her job well in the note, something that had been coming up for quite a while.

They even brought in someone from corporate for that.

The next week or so they brought every one of my assistants in and asked questions about my competence and how I behaved with them. At the same time the assistant who I was having trouble with I was being told would be reprimanded etc at her annual review. Given they kept her for another 5 years until laying her off this summer (my home health PT had worked with me which wasn't at ALL awkward and she brought me up to date), I'm guessing they didn't care that she wasn't doing crap with her patients.

The company went under not too long after I was fired. This made me unreasonably happy....
