A textbook case of "bullying" is not a legal matter since it is not a text book case of unlawful "discrimination."
Unfortunately, all employment starts out as employment "at will." That means you may be fired for any reason or no reason or you may quit for any reason or no reason. The only thing that changes the "at will" status is a contract or a statutory preclusion.
If you do not have a contract for employment, you have no contractual protections.
The statutes or the law, only protects against employment decisions that are discriminatory in nature based on a suspect class like race, creed, color, religion, sex,age etc.. There is are no protections that guarantee employees a good manager or employer or one that gets along with them or likes them.
In other words, unless the treatment was based on the fact that you fall into a particular protected class, it would seem that you have no real options here.
I am sorry to hear about your troubles.
