I was thinking in that and I want to know if there is a name for that, but I call that micro-mobbing. It's a common bad practice in the world of work and I can see a bad legacy from the era of a world dominated of monarchies; The king to rule and lead needed to demonstrate that not only his "superiority" but also the inferiority of the rest of the people. Today we can see this kind of behaviour in every kind of job. The employer needs demonstrate the inferiority of his/her employee to avoid a rise in price of the cost of workforce. The easy way to achieve that is playing with the self esteem of the worker. Exactly how the monarchy old world played with the image of the native Americans or Africans.
