I had always gotten along well with my supervisors until I started a new job. I was warned before I started to watch my back, but assumed I could handle it. Wrong. The woman assigned as my boss was an expert at making me look and feel stupid. She undermined every job I did. I was afraid to do anything for fear of being held up to ridicule. There was no one for me to turn. She hadn't violated any rules she could be called on. Most of her harassment went on behind closed doors so it would be the new guys word against an established supervisor.
I finally out lasted her and she retired. It was only after that, that I found she had done the same thing to another employee who had ended up in the mental institute.
It took me a long time to regain my confidence.
Maybe legislation isn't the answer, but this type of person who gets their jollys off breaking people should not be able to go un punished.
