The culture of the bay area in general can be very toxic for a particular type of individual. If you're religious or lean to the right in any way, you'll be met with open hostility. The culture of the bay area is also passive aggressive. Nobody wants to offend or confront, so if your manager doesn't like you, you probably won't know it. You'll just get the shittiest tasks and won't be sure why. It's a particular kind of hell for someone who values honestly and blunt talk, like a new yorker, for example.

That's a pretty common practice in a lot of companies everywhere - it's called "managing someone out" (as in "out the door"). Companies do it because if an employee can be convinced to leave voluntarily, the company saves money and avoids the potential lawsuit that might ensue from a termination.
