Schedule a meeting with your boss and HR, and explain the situation. Be prepared to defend your work and explain what you've accomplished in your role. If you have data or examples to support your case, be sure to bring them up.
Whatever you do, don’t lash out at your boss or become defensive. Remain polite and professional at all times.
If I were in your situation, I would say that I have been a great asset to the company and have been able to grow the community significantly. I would also mention that my boss has been trying to get me fired for awhile now, and that I think it has more to do with personal issues than with my work performance.
You should begin by drafting a clear and concise explanation of your role within the company and your contributions to its success. Next, you should emphasize the unique skills and knowledge you bring to the table, and explain how firing you would be counterproductive for the company.
Tie what you do to revenue and proactively present that monthly/quarterly if not in this role in the next. And set goals/metrics and report back on them often.
I had a boss once that felt that way and he wasn’t someone I wanted to work with, so I started looking for a new job. In my situation the work didn’t inspire me, so I’d lost my spark and found it again in my next roles. It did feel good on my way out to put together a document of all my duties and who I was transitioning what to/what would need to be passed to a new hire and he went back and told CEO he actually did need my role.
