Interested in what the community thinks of this experience. Felt borderline illegal.
Was part of team, we were all good at first. As some time went on 4 out of the 6 of us would be less involved, not reliable, very ostracizing. I brought it up with management. Then my partner who I was on closer terms with personally & professionally did the same. Expressed what they were doing was making me depressed & asked them to stop. Partner went behind my back, reported that and I was forced to resign.
