There are bad managers everywhere. This seems like a case of borderline harassment or just bad manager/employee matchup. He should have reached out to HR instead of quitting. He should have gone directly to his boss's boss. He should have documented every instance of improper conduct as much as possible and gotten a lawyer... Clearly there were other options, but it seems like he decided to give up. Just because it's a great company doesn't make every person there great. That's why we have HR and skip-level managers and lawyers, you just got to use them instead of curling up in a ball and taking it.
