Yes. I was one of 2 employees that worked in the office. I saw her target others within the fold of the business many times.

I was 7 months pregnant and she told me that she planned on letting me go because I couldn't do the work to her standards (she admitted to being a perfectionist and overly critical on her better days).

I started working very slowly, making sure to dot the i's and cross the t's. She backed off.

Yes, because she didn't like the color of my skin.

I felt targeted or mistreated when I went back to work after taking 1 month off for depression and anxiety.
My manager was very cold, they gave my station to someone else and moved me to the back, etc.
I didn't do anything about it...I guess it's part of the whole depression thing, I just didn't care.

I haven't been fired yet but in my job right now, i've been targeted for several years now. (4 yrs) My boss can't fire me yet because I'm the person that holds the department together. lol.
