Unless you have an actual use for a VPN, which would be a direct tunnel from your computer to your employers server, get rid of that. Public VPNs do not provide any type of security.
Remove TeamViewer. Remote access software should never by installed without a specific purpose.

Specific to CleanMyMac aka “ BrickMyMac “
To put the CleanMyMac in context and the damages it may have or has already done.
This application can or will Muck Up your User Account ( Home Folder ) of this machine.
It does not touch the Operating System itself unless you consider your User Account ( Home Folder ) as part of the Operating System
Then in that specific context - it has Mucked Up the Operating System
The steps in #1 below is predicated on the Offending Application has been Removed as per the Developers Specific Instruction
# 1 Some Contributors suggest restarting in Recovery Mode and choosing to Reinstall the Operating System over the existing installation.
This may or may not replace elements of the Entire Operating System including the Home Folder ( User Account ) and replace any corrupted or removed elements of the Operating System and make things right.
#2 - Then there are Other Contributors ( like myself ) would suggest from this link Use Disk Utility to erase a Mac with Apple silicon.
For Intel computer >> Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac followed by How to reinstall macOS
Thereafter to start from scratch and install all Required Application directly from the Apple Apps Store or Directly from the Developer.
If going this route - I suggest Not using Startup Assist to migrate things back as this will probably Re-Introduce the existing issue that existed when the TM Backup was made
