I did something like this once. There was this critical bug in a system I had designed. It was no big deal, 2 days to fix.
Privately, the management had forbade me from fixing the bug. Literally forbade me, and assigned me lots of support work (that didn't have tickets-- it would look like I wasn't working). Then a month later the project manager makes a show of coming over to yell at me in front of everyone for this bug not being fixed.
I zero'd my personal data, walked out of the building and never went back.
