Similar situation - had a professor in college pick on a peer who had a speech issue multiple times by making him read aloud in class. End of the semester the class rep made a formal complaint with signatures from mostly everyone in class to the HoD. When we came back for the next semester, the professor wasn’t there anymore, transferred 💁🏻‍♂️

If it's your mistake, fix it! ( Meanwhile talk to mgr)

Else Hit back and humiliate him/her as well.

PS - Keep an offer letter in inbox b4 doing the latter one.

Start standing up to yourself and keep looking for a new role internally or externally. If you let this person continue like this, they will do it with the next person as well.

Record 2-3 such instances; talk to your colleagues if they feel same way; take screenshots

Go skip level (ie - your manager’s manager)

Tell your grievances and if asked for examples or incidents; show those screenshot of teammates feeling the same and recording where manager was humiliating someone

Also, keep start preparing and interviewing; not all managers can take feedback unless they are secure enough

But you are going anyway; make sure he remembers you; do enough damange

Laugh it out. If it becomes serious, pretend like they are giving a genuine feedback and you are accepting it with an open mind. Nothing infuriates them more. It makes them powerless. Their aim is to humiliate, that won't be possible if you react with a laugh. This technique was taught to me by my boss.

The first thing you should do is to speak to your manager directly and let him/her know that you are not liking this behaviour. If this issue persists despite having a conversation and letting them know already, then you need to surely escalate this further.
