Quite simply... respect. I've had some lousy bosses in the past... and if you can't get a new job, it's not a bad way to go. Strive to do your best, and eventually, people will take notice. However, if you work for a small firm, where your boss happens to also be the CEO... I would go looking for a new job, immediately. But before you do, it NEVER hurts, just to sit down, and in a CALM and RESPECTFUL manner. Ask you boss for some leeway. Maybe suggest a "Trial Period" of a week or so. Just to see how productivity increases or decreases with out him breathing down your neck.

They wouldn't take you serious if you left, and told them,  they would think you were just mad ex-employee. go to the Boss, in strictest of sincerety and confidence and state your observations, let him decide. Then, if you don't like the way they handle it, then leave and report it to higher authority until it is resolved. Never watch an injustice, at least try to make it better.

Well to start off, congratulations for being totally upfront and honest with your former employer about leaving the company.  Even though it seems you were punished for this, it was totally the right thing to do; you have nothing to be ashamed of or anything to feel that you should hide, which you would have had if you had been sneaky or deceitful.  So, that is something a new employer should definitely take into consideration.\nIf I were in your spot, I would be up front and honest about the situation without tearing apart the former boss or company.  I quit my job back inJanuary due to physical and emotional stress, and am just now trying to find a job.  It's taken me that long to get over the damage done to my heart.  I have asked prospective employers to not speak with my former employer, and I tell them the truth:  that it was a very hostile environment and that I am not comfortable with anyone at that company knowing what is going on in my life.  I have, however, given references of people who worked there when I did that are no longer there that I am okay with.  The two places I have been interviewed this week were very understanding.  Mostly, they appreciated my honesty.  But, I was also careful to not tear apart anybody, either.  I think that helped.\nIf you let them know your version of what happened while being respectful of the people involved and they call your old boss who lets her mouth run off about what a louse you are and drags your reputation through the mud and they choose to listen to her, it's probably not the place for you to be anyway.  Chances are they will compare your respectfulness to her disrespect and you'll win out anyway.  In any case, you'll be able to look at yourself in the mirror the next day, knowing you have done the right thing, no matter the outcome. \nBest wishes!

take it with a grain a salt. laugh about it. say yeah that was me. oh well, you can't win them all. if you don't make a big deal about it then other people won't make a big deal about it. don't let people see you are embarrassed. that will just feed into the torment. just be like yeah she got me right in the face it hurt like hell.

You asked for serious advice so here goes, usually when individuals act the way your boss does, they are very insecure people. Now here goes the hard part, if you like your job well enough to stay there and hold your position, then you have to pray for him, I hope you like to pray because I have found that it is the only way to get ahead in life is by prayer, not getting upset or mad at the man, but just let it roll off, and know who you are in God's eyes, you are God's child and He loves you and He will promote you, these are all very trying learning experiences for all of us at one time or another but the ones who hang in there and do their job to the best of their ability, will prosper, how do I know this?o.k. It happened to me several times, and even though it was tuff to pray for someone I personally had no feelings for, I thought well , the Word teaches us to pray for our enemies, and right now this person was my enemy, so I prayed that they would be promoted clear out of my life,,LOL and guess what I was the one that got promoted to a great new position, and with great people that I had a blast with, I mean God is awesome, He knows exactly what you need, sorry to be so long winded, but just want you to know that things can change, and you are not the victim, he is. Keep on girl and you'll some out ahead!!!!!WhEEEEEE!

SPEAK UP for yourself.  Stay away from those who put you down as much as possible.  If they confront you,  look them straight in the eyes, tell them to LAY OFF and walk away.  Mean people usually pick on those who they perceive as vulnerable. Keep you chin UP no matter how you feel.  Your air of confidence will make you FEEL more confident and also deter some of the bubble-bursters.   If you are being harrassed,  speak to your supervisor.  If your supervisor harrasses you and/or is unconcerned,  speak to his/her superior.   If you get no positive results,  start looking for a new job.   You deserve a friendlier work environment. (It's a possibility that you can file a "hostile environment" complaint against your present employer).  I suggest counselling to help you figure out why you are shy and nervous.   Focus on your accomplishments at work.  Build your self-confidence outside of work.  Find new friends. Seek outside activities and hobbies that give you a sense of accomplishment.  Read self-help books.   And,  yes,  an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medication might help you cope with the stress until YOU change your circumstances.  (Noone else will do it for you).  Talk to your doctor.

write your boss a letter, keep a copy.\n\nTry to imporove your behavior, too.  If you can change the things that your boss is asking you to do, then fix them.  If not, then write in your letter why you can not.\n\nEventually you will get fired, and you may want to get unemployment benefits until you get a new job.  Then you will show the judge (yes, you will go to court to fight for unemployment benefits) and you will show this letter saying that you are doing the best you can.  Good luck!

Ask your boss. They aren't yours anymore!\nWhy quit something and keep trying to control it?

Do something which your boss does not anticipate which really helps him come out of a tight situation.\n\nLots of fruitful work is an opportunity, do it, you will learn.\n\nA companion as a boss is good as you know him. ( You remember, a known devil...... )\n\nThink after all he is a guy like you not God. Enjoy.

I think this situation would be difficult for most everybody.  You're probably right about resigning quickly.  You might just end up with another bad job out of desperation.  \n\nYour boss screams and shouts because deep down he (I'll assume it's a he) feels powerless and needs to be aggressive to get his way.  Try to remember that he does this out of weakness and not strength.  Genuinely strong people don't need to act this way.  If you can view it as his problem then you won't take it as personally.\n\nTry to document all that happens that is inappropriate: words said, body posture, tone of voice, etc.  Keep dates, times, locations, etc.  In case things go badly you can have this documentation to back you up.  Your boss probably isn't doing this so your case would be stronger.\n\nAcknowledge what your boss says but ask that he say it in a more polite manner.  You may have to keep reminding him of this one :)  If you're able to stand up to him in a firm, yet nonconfrontational way my guess is he would change.  Bullies respect strength.\n\nIf nothing changes, count it as a character building experience and move on!  Hope that helps.

Before you contact a lawyer you should consider doing the ground work.  Have you contacted someone in the Human Resources dept. (if your company has one) or have you made anyone at work aware of the situation?  If you haven't already, start keeping notes concerning when, where and everything about any instance that you consider boss abuse.  You weren't specific as to whether it was physical, verbal or just in general abuse but no matter which one, keep anything that can "prove" your case - pictures, notes, emails, audio recordings.....\n\nThis doesn't exactly answer the question you asked but I thought it might be of some use.

Your boss is simply feeling this because, he may have misunderstood your activities. \n\nSimply try speaking to him. Always, try to keep things calm and clean. Documents, keys, identification cards/devices, computers and much more are subjected to your bosses examination. If you've mishandled anything please inform that to your boss, and apologize to it. And affirm that you would not let anything similar to this nature happen in future. \n\nSince he feel insecure, try requesting for certain guidelines. These guidelines may be part of his personal principals, experiences and much more. This is a great way to learn!\n\nBosses are always known to be bosses. Try to keep things in control. Never ever depend on any other, for your work. You should do your own work! This will create a greater explanation for the prevailing situation, and your boss's perception would be edited during the course of time.\n\nIf all these are not working already, then its simply personal with him. He is not liking you as an employee, under his operative vision. You haven't claimed at what level he is a boss to you. Is he is a director/or simply some sort of a head for a department. If he is a head for a department simply try to get a transfer. This will help you with your mentality and indeed working excellence. You'll need not worry about anything! \n\nHope these helped.\nGood Luck. Take time and observe and decide!

This happens alot especially in smaller businesses where you have family members or people who have worked for the company for a long time. Plant a small tape recorder somewhere near the place where people have a tendency to gather and talk. Break room, smokers area, lunch room.You might be able to head off some of the roomers before they get to your Boss. Try to make them look foolish. You cannot play this for your Boss but it could come in handy if things got to a point of he said she said. These 2 people do not like you because the boss obviously likes your work and they feel threatened. Whether the threat is real or not. In private explain to your Boss the situation at hand and without pointing the finger at the 2 girls who have it in for you. Just tell him that you are not like that and he will have to form his own opinion about you. You like working here but you will seek another position elsewhere if he feels that theses accusations are true. Ask him if he has had this happen with other employees? Sometimes they don't see a pattern until you bring it up? Had the same problem with the New Head Chef where I work. She was out to get me fired because I was too meticulous in my work. She would tell people what she made and then blame me in front of the boss for telling people what she made(I am the Payrolll clerk/Bookkeeper) I stuck to my guns and stayed on top of her all the time. I finally saw a problem with things missing and people fighting with each other all the time. I went to my Boss and left him a note saying think about when your problems here all started? I left it at that. He started watching her more closely and found out she was stealing stuff from the freezer on a daily basis. He fired her and apologized to me and we have a very good trust relationship going now. It was not easy and I had to bite my tongue many many times. Be careful if you use the tape you may hear things you did not really want to hear. Stick to your guns and keep your cool. If they think they are starting to wear you down they will keep on doing it. If they think it isn't working they will give up.

Arrange a meeting with her. Explain that you find her manner unprofessional and inappropriate. Just because someone is the boss does not give them the right to be (as you put it) an SOB. Every time your boss berates you or behaves in an unprofessional manner, be sure to point it out in a mature, calm way. \n"I'm sorry, but I find your tone offensive/unprofessional/rude/ out of line/etc. Do you think we can discuss this in a more productive manner?"\n\nHope this helps, good luck

Have something you can hit that won't damage anything. Like a punching bag. Take all the stress out on that until you're so tired you don't care.

Stress at work and no other place is one of the most difficult cases to prove. Because first and foremost, YOU CONTROL WHAT YOU FEEL. The boss didnt make you stressed, you made yourself stressed. People dont make you feel, you choose to feel. Get over yourself, you have no case, your best bet is to seek counseling for your inability to internalize your situations and your feeling of inadequacy, fo it is only when we feel inadequate that others "make us feel" something.
