For a law firm you would think management would understand the consequences of constructive dismissal!

I don't think you would get this in a male environment as we tend to stick up for ourselves. But when women clash, it is either cat fight or sulks. the daughter definitely feels she is being forced out.
My wife has worked for more than a few bosses (both in this country and overseas) - she will tell anyone who cares to listen that she prefers a male boss. She agrees 90% of the women bosses she has had display the symptoms you describe, one used to chuck furniture around, others seemed unable to take responsibility without passing stress on to others. She says men are normally more measured and fair in their dealings with employees.
