What does it mean to be "managed out"?

I had an issue come up recently where a consultant, and former colleague of our CEO, made an inappropriate and insulting comment to me on a call. I offered to share a study to help his brand and his response was "See , you do have some helpful knowledge in that brain of yours." I felt it was demeaning and obviously insulting my intelligence, especially in front of two other coworkers. I went to HR after a week of deliberating what I should do, confront the person on my own or have HR deal with it. He had done some other passive aggressive actions around the call which made me feel I did not owe him a 1:1 discussion. But after speaking with HR her response was, "how would you like me to deal with it." Because the person is a contractor I asked her how should this be delt with? I didn't get a real answer outside of she will talk to him and it's up to me if I talk to him first. I guess my question is, how should this be dealt with? Our HRBP is a team of one and tends to avoid responsibilities, is this one of those cases?

I had a phone interview for an HVAC company not too far from where I live last week on Tuesday for an Installation Admin Specialist. I came across their job posting on Indeed and followed the directions on how to apply. Basically I emailed them that I was interested and attached my email to the address provided. I get a response later that day saying they are interested in interviewing me, and they gave me a call after work because they mentioned that the position is very competitive. The interview went well, even though I did not have experience working at an HVAC company, I was willing to learn new skills. It's been a week and I haven't heard anything. I emailed them yesterday (Monday) asking if there were any updates. I haven't received a response unfortunately. I've been looking for another job for so long and I'm just fed up.

Is there a way to keep these out of the discussion boards?

My Team-mates constantly complains about team manager and their management style. It’s starting to affect the team’s morale and they all are scaring. I understand everyone has their opinions, but I’d love to hear how others handle similar situations. If you guys have Any advice? Please tell me...

Okay-Why would this be required to apply for a job? I get it if we're in a background check phase because you've made an offer and as a form of identification if I've accepted an offer, but how is this still acceptable? This is an online application for a senior manager role.
