I reported a hostile work environment at my old job, where my new manager told another employee that he was "going to make his life a living hell until he quits". I was forced to enter EAP - I can't remember what it stands for, but basically seeing a corporate therapist to "deal with my anger issues".

All this started because I had no choice but to report him for violating literal federal law, which the company swept under the rug.

Jokes on him though - he eventually put his hands on me in front of several others and I got a year's salary. I tried to walk away while he was screaming in my face. He put his hands on my shoulders and shoved me onto my chair. I could have sued for more, but I took the agreement and ran and found a new job shortly thereafter.
