Christie used to work for a big company. In her office, there was a manager who was renowned for her temper tantrums and completely hostile behaviour if she was in a "bad mood."
The manager would purposely withhold information from her staff, and if a decision was made that was not to her liking, she would punish those who supported the decision by not talking to them and by rallying other managers against them.
The manager was extremely petty, resorting to childish acts like simply not responding to any requests for help or information from people she didn't like or agree with and by blatantly excluding individuals on both a business level and person level. Christie felt more like she was back in school than being part of the team of staff.
Christie's senior manager was repeatedly made aware of the situation by various members of the staff, and while he tried to set examples for the manager in question and tried to speak with her on occasion, it never made any difference. It was extremely difficult for Christie to deal with this behaviour on a daily basis and resulted in even more stress, when her job was already stressful enough.
Christie's environment was extremely unhealthy and depressing and she was overjoyed when she was finally able to resign and move on from that company, and it was due in large part to the bully of a manager with who she had to work.
