Says it all really... Where he works is being restructured and jobs are at risk. Since this started, his boss (female) has started picking on him. I think she is worried he will get her job as he is as well qualified and costs less. She is picking holes in his work, letting him project lead sometimes but then taking him off it and giving it to someone else (another woman), and making him do extra documentation. He is slightly dyslexic(although never diagnosed) and she constantly picks holes in his writing.
He is getting more and more depressed and lacking in confidence. I hate to see him like this. He worked for his previous company for 8 years with no worries, in fact everyone constantly told me how good at his job he was. Don't know what is best to do. Talk to her boss? Get counselling? Get a new job although what sort of reference would she give? Apply for her job?!
Think there is also some sexual discrimination going on too...
