I’m so sorry that the LW for #1 needed to take care of this sort of bullying. Individuals who write issues like which might be horrible and must be handled.
Again once we all went distant through the early, unhealthy days of COVID, I used to be a VP. Everybody was nonetheless studying how Groups labored, and a bunch of three relatively scummy and misogynist “bros” by accident put some actually nasty feedback about one among my studies (a really good, however insecure younger girl, about her appears to be like, weight, calling her a pig, and many others.) in a public chat channel (they meant it for a non-public one) and a dozen folks on a name, together with my report, noticed this. She was in tears.
We reported it to HR, however they did nothing besides ask the “bros” to apologize and never do it once more.
So, since VPs really had some energy there, I made their lives hell with the express intention of constructing them stop, or getting them fired. For instance, one among them was doing a finance presentation to a bunch of a number of pretty senior people (a number of administrators and managers), and I completely destroyed him. Referred to as him out for a typo (“A baby is aware of how that phrase is spelled”), for poor presentation abilities (“You actually need to return to those displays higher ready. That is horrible work. Try to be embarrassed.”, “That is rubbish. What do you do all day?”), and many others.
One complained to his (feminine) boss who, once I reminded her of what he had mentioned to my report, mainly instructed him to “develop up and cease whining”. HR was as ineffective to him as they have been to my report who he savagely bullied. One of many others, I faraway from a number of essential initiatives, and put him on a rubbish challenge and put a bunch of unrealistic and unobtainable targets as a part of the challenge, then completely destroyed him in entrance of his boss when he didn’t meet them.
I used to be profitable in getting two of them to stop, one after I managed to get him on a PIP. One despatched a hilariously offended e mail to me and our CFO on his manner out the door about how poorly he was handled.
For those who can’t get a bully fired, make their life hell.
