Can a Senior Manager who otherwise has a good reputation, get fired for bullying? If not, will this person still make it to partner? There seems to be a lack of transparency in firms around this

I hope you have recovered from this incident. It doesn’t sound fair that they promote people who treat others disrespectfully. This person will suffer one day because of his/ her actions.

Yes. We’ve fired partners for misconduct.

I would say if an HR complaint is raised it may be used for firing if required and his network also cannot support . You never know as exceptions may also be made.

Personnel issues aren't supposed to be transparent.

I've seen bullies "counselled out" and many left after not get promoted, but certainly not all of them.

And no one will ever say why someone is let go. That type of transparency is simply not going to happen. I've never seen a company formally say why someone is fired.

I have been going on interviews and noticed 2 department heads already assume I was laid off or fired due to a 4 months gap. I explained I left my last role due to short term health issues that have been resolved. Not even sure how to respond when they assume. Any advise? Thanks!

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?
