Why do managers go through all the effort of hiring people to work for them if they only intend to bully those employees until they leave? What's in it for them to make their employees regret the decision to accept that job? Who does that help?

While I understand some managers are not actually fit to manage other people, and that can cause a lot of tension between those managers and their employees, the manager in this Reddit story definitely seemed like he was acting as a bad manager on purpose. OP (original poster) started their job back in September, and since day one, their boss has done nothing but criticize and ridicule them for everything they do. Even OP's therapist agreed that it sounds like their boss is trying to gaslight OP into quitting their job, but luckily, OP is ready to fight back.
