    The descriptions of how management behaved reads like a series of posts in one of the relationship subreddits where everyone is trying to convince OP that they're in an abusive relationship and need to GTFO.

    Once, a guard pulled all the analysts’ personal possessions out of their lockers and dumped them in trash bags, to teach them that they could not expect privacy at work. This was followed by a clip about locker discipline from the Vietnam film “Full Metal Jacket.”

    Hoooly crap.

      The ending is also quite disturbing:

      Mr. Wymer has a new job, as the chief executive of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley. The chair of the board said the nonprofit was “aware” of what happened at eBay, but believes Mr. Wymer is “a leader with integrity” and was the unanimous choice for the job.

      Great, now a psychopath is in charge of a club that's supposed to support children. What could possibly go wrong?
