Examples of things I've seen:
- non-disclosure to incoming ECRs that a supervisor has already had disciplinary action (e.g. a Title IX investigation) against them
- supervisors not allowing PhD students to graduate because it's cheaper to pay someone as a student than as a postdoc

*there needs to be more institutional accountability when an ECR is subject to bullying, misogyny, toxic competitiveness, and micromanagement. It seems to be particularly bad in the US, where ECRs can be held hostage by visa situations (perhaps less so now in Trump's US cause there's less funding).
Everyone from the Global South moving to the Global North for a postdoc should hear this advice:
Just saw this preprint highlighted in a Nature Briefing (@natureportfolio.nature.com) and it resonates with me a lot. How bad supervisors are pushing ECRs out of academia: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... I've seen it and I've experienced it and I do think their needs to be more institutional (1/?)
