A woman's supervisor criticizes her work publicly, makes demeaning comments about her appearance, and assigns her impossible deadlines to watch her fail. She dreads going to work, lies awake replaying interactions, begins having panic attacks in the parking lot before her shift. She knows something is wrong but wonders if she is being too sensitive, if this is just how work is. A man is excluded from meetings, his contributions ignored, his work reassigned. The isolation is subtle enough that he cannot quite name it, but it is destroying him.
