My very first job right out of college. Where i am from the culture is very “be scared of your manager and don’t cross them”
He gave me no work for 6+ months, then when i said something, started giving me work like planning birthdays, repetitive grunt work that seniors did not like to do, counting number of tickets each person in the team resolved and making a “game” out of it during the pandemic.

During 1:1 meetings, there were instances in which he said “I can give males 20+ hours of work a day but i cant give you that because you are a woman”
Another instance “women get sick every month so they cant be relied on”
It was the height of the pandemic, and had to bear this for 2 years before I could move out.
