h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've now come to hear that yet again a single manager has harassed and bullyed a member of staff so much that they have decided to leave. She has been directly responsible for at least 7 people leaving one area. She has told me that I am not allowed to be creative and that I wasn't allowed to be friends with a member of staff she was having problems with and who has subsequently left the here for a lesser paid job for which they have to commute across by ferry to get there, just to be away from this manager. This I believe is tantamount to bullying, but the management are all pally with her so no complaints are taken seriously. If this manager takes a dislike to a staff member, their life is made as hellish as possible by giving them demeaning jobs to do or by giving the "like minded" members of the staff the time off and expecting the ones she doesn't like to cover them with no prior warning. I believed there to be a law against work place bullying but this doesn't seem to matter if the higher management think the bully is gods gift to life itself does it??

Bullying is soul destroying. Have you found any advice on the web for coping with this?
