Thanks for sharing this. I imagine it had to be painful to write. Sharing such experiences help others in the same situation understand that it's not their fault: unfortunately, toxic people and toxic work environments exist. If you are in a situation like the one described, my advice is: _just leave_. It's not worth it: it's not worth the money, it's not worth the feeling of "failure", it's not worth the fear that you won't find anything better. Just leave. If you have some friends at that job, don't worry: they'll understand. Don't be afraid of not finding anything else: we're very lucky in this regard, software engineering jobs are relatively easy to find. And "there may be many unexpected feasts ahead of you".
