She is a 46-year-old female supervisor working with a same-age male, Brandon, in residential counseling for teenagers. About 18 months ago she witnessed Brandon verbally abusing a cognitively disabled client and reported the incident to supervisors. After Brandon learned she had spoken up, he began giving her the silent treatment, using harsh and condescending tones when forced to speak, and publicly ostracizing her in front of clients and coworkers. He shows a pattern of disregarding women he does not find sexually desirable and appears to favor younger, conventionally attractive colleagues. Direct confrontation and attempts at kindness have failed.
About 18 months ago, I witnessed "Brandon" being verbally abusive to a kid. When I was asked about it, I told my bosses the truth about what I saw and heard: Brandon was threatening and insulting a kid with cognitive disabilities. Well, Brandon found out, got angry at m, and hasn't spoken to me cordially since. At first he stopped speaking to me completely and labeled me a snitch.
So now I get the silent treatment or, if he has no choice but to ask me something (maybe once a month), it's in the harshest, rudest, most condescending tone you can imagine. This is all in front of our teenage clients. If I try to enter a conversation he's a part of in a group with other coworkers, he will literally turn and rudely walk away mid-sentence.
