That's what I meant with "silently accused", they said nothing about it. I noticed my team mates changed their behavior, a manager started bringing things-you-do-wrong, and there were several strange events before they laid me off, like (fictional) products about to be released. Then I was suddendly disconnected and let go. I didn't actually cared and quickly got another job, but ofcourse that was a bad ending and I had to makeup my resume to avoid reference contamination. When I realized the products were fake and did a retrospection of all the events and behaviors, I understood what was all that about.

They knew I have different skills on electronics and hacking. I'm sure they looked for mics and cameras literally everywhere. Once I took care of a stalker that called my wife by hacking a political reporter's email and planting his phone number, so I didn't waste time with the police. Telling stories doesn't help, it's better to hide certain skills.

I'm sorry, that sounds both difficult and disconcerting.

"It's better to hide certain skills."

This perspective hadn't occurred to me, and it's likely a more pragmatic approach than my own, which is to sing my interests from the rooftops and scribble them in chalk, hoping to find other like-minded individuals. A paradoxical approach, driven by the harsh effects of loneliness on well-being, one that might need reconsideration.
