So, I work in the IT department of a company and do my job well, but I was getting sick and needed to take medication again for gastritis.

When I was getting sick, I didn't feel good to work at the office, as the work's hybrid, instead of WFH, and explained to my boss, but worked normally and made all the work that was asked of me, this happened some times, like 2 times in the last month. I got better after started taking medication again and it never happened again. As I said, I work normally and do my time (now I'm in overtime) as asked and code, just that at the time I couldn't get to work at the office.

I have the receipts for the medication (gastritis) I bought at the exact time I told my boss I couldn't get to the office.

But now it seems weird at the office, the boss of my boss doesn't care, but the boss of them cares a lot and takes people to measure which person is at the office (the work is hybrid, not WFH). My boss told this last week, in a weird way (it seemed steered at me), to my team. And I overheard my boss talking to other people in Teams about taking notes and registering things, I think I heard my name too.

I'm now in another project that the boss of my boss is really needing, and I'm doing a good job, even the senior dev said that he wants to take me and another colleague to the team that handled the project before.

So I'm in a doubled edged sword, it seems I do a good job (and people want to steal me), but I'm being recorded for firing by middle management.

What can I do? I already started looking for new jobs, but I wanted to talk to my boss directly about "things being weird at the office", not in a rude manner, but wanting to know what is happening.

You got some great advice already, I just wanted to add that it's certainly possible you're reading way too much into this and are anxious about something that amounts to nothing. I agree speaking openly with your supervisor about it is your best route.

Thanks for the advise, I'm going to do this!
