No one likes to be shouted at in a working environment.  It says a lot about your boss.  She needs to take some classes on how to deal with employees, and shouting at them is not one of them.  When she acts this way again, nicely tell her you are trying your best and ask her why she is shouting at you.  If she gives you some demeaning answer, find another job.  You don't have to put up with that.

It isn't right to harass anyone.  But as a manager, I will say that it is very difficult sometimes to make sure an employee understands all of the expenses the employee doesn't even know exists.  Really just a little cooperation goes a very long way.

Yes I'm afraid that society as a whole is getting rudder in all cultures.  I find the more polite I am with people the better the response i get from them....so if this is the case then the polite people like you and i have the advantage.

Some people can't get past the stereotypes. Gives you more reason to prove them wrong. Free speech rings true, say whatever you want, as long as you don't make death threats. Usually the people in black suits have tracked you down and are holding you at gunpoint if you even utter one word about 'killing' someone.

Talk to your/their manager or contact your Human Resoources department right away and let them know what happened. Not only is it demeaning/insulting to you, it makes your company look unprofessional for it's employees to be speaking that way in front of a client.

It has been my experience that avoiding those kind of people causes them to find ways of attacking you personally. Staying to yourself usually isn't enough in that situation. Either several people will have to go to the boss (or HR) or find a way for the trouble-maker to have duties outside the office. Eventually, the boss should recognize that drama only happens when she is around. Be forewarned, though, most bosses probably won't care and will just dismiss it all as petty cat fighting.

It's called a making pass. If he repeats that kind of stuff too often, or tries to leverage his boss status to make you accept it, then it becomes harassment.

I think people who taunt others are unhappy with there lives and that mkes them feel better. I can't stand bullies like that! I have 2 sons and dread them going to school!

Sounds like someone pissed you off "alittle".I dont think like that and would never say any of those things-if you have a loud mouth then you just have a loud mouth isnt because your black thats ignorant!Whoever has got you feeling like this has accomplished their goal of pissin you off.And these type of questions actually promote more racism and problems ,you win by not letting it bother you in life(hard to do ,but once you do it you will never feel like this again because you are sure of yourself)By gettin upset and going off you are letting whoever is doing the hatin WIN!They want you to get upset ,mad and then hate and pass it on,and it goes on and on.Stop lettin them win ,and love no matter what and you are always going to com out on top.

Try turning the tables on them - "kill them with kindness".  This works every time.  \n\nYou can invite the person who is harassing you to lunch and calmly ask them if you have, in some way, offended them.  Continue on with "if I have offended you, I apologize - I was not aware that I had done so".  Ask the person if you can start over with a clean slate.\n\nUsually this will stop the harassment.  If it does not stop, I suggest that you document everything and when the time is right, along with the documentation, speak with your Supervisor.\n\nHave a lovely rest of the evening.

If you have an anonymous system for employee complaints, then use it to bring this to their attention. This kind of stuff isn't conducive to a healthy workplace, I would think someone in upper management would want to know. However, if you are working in a smaller company, you will have to decide if you feel its safe to speak up or not. \n\nNo, its not normal.

"I talked to my employer and he told me that this individual had harassed people in this way before, but he was not going to do anything about it, and if I couldn't handle it I should quit."\n\nGet this is writing from the employer then you can go to your state's  workforce commission and file a formal complaint.  Send your complaint in an e-mail and give the employer time to respond.\n\nDon't take any cr*p but you also must have solid ground on which to fight. Good luck.

Gone unchallenged, this problem will not fix itself.\nIf your friends are content with this...do nothing, but if it unacceptable behaviour by someone at work, then talking to your boss without being confrontational is absolutely appropriate. Sometimes a boss is unaware of all that goes on so give them the opportunity to hear your concerns. \nAlways document incidents/dates/times/who is involved just in case you require future reference though.

why would think there would be harrasment?  You do your job professionally and don't try and milk the system, and you'll be awarded the respect you deserve.

What about the people who talk much louder on their cell phones while in the checkout lane. And what about a person on their cell phone when they are at the pharmacy picking up a prescription and the pharmacist is trying to tell them about the medication? And what about the people who sit down in a restaurant and won't give the server the time of day and then get mad because their drink order wasn't taken as soon as they sat down?\n\nI hope and pray that this does not become acceptable. Each and every day I personally encounter rudeness about 80% percent of the time. And when I finally think that the world has come to its end someone will show an act of politeness.
