Sometimes it's one small thing!
I had a senior member interviewing me not a manager ashe recently quit. at the time I noticed he seemed annoyed and unimpressed. At the time I didn't think much about it but after 3 months working there I realized I made a big mistake.
There had been 5 others before me that lasted less than a year, some less than 6 months. This senior guy was a cranky, controlling, and micromanaged everything I did. he was just a d$@k!
we finally got a manager at 6 months who seemed nice at first so I stayed in hopes of change. after a month he started isolating individuals in the team. he would start with one at a time and would start talking bad about them to everyone in the dept. he would ignore them and isolate them from the team. he then would start pulling work away and only give them boring tasks that was well beyond their pay grade. one-by-one each individual would quit!
After 3 had left I was next in his hit-list. I took bullying and abuse for 6 months, I refused to let him win, and it was brutal. Isolating me from the team by moving me to a corner section of the office. he would argue with me on anything and would pull work away from me constantly. basically I was sitting there with nothing to do, and if I did anything I would get in shit for not asking for approval and if I did he would say no. unfortunately for him I was well liked in the company and that seemed to Pisa him off more.
On my last 2 months I had enough and I would do whatever I wanted regardless of what he said and he didn't know how to handle it! He would say "I told you NO@ and I woild say "I'm tired of sitting there doing nothing all day so if you have a problem with me working fire me!". it was so bad the HR manager asked me why he has treating me like that for 6 months I told him he's a bully and he's a terrible person. the HR guy agreed but said there was nothing he could do but talk to a VP.. nothing happened.
One day, totally bored and miserable, I said to myself "why are you still here?". I left, and I should of left at 3 months. they HR guy threw to a of money at me to stay but I said there isn't enough money in the world to keep me in this environment.
I keep I touch with a few individuals and he started bullying others and one-by-one they left. actually one just asked me for a reference as he was miserable and being isolated.
there are a lot of terrible people out there!
