In the US, the job market is so bad that your boss can make you do anything he wants and get away with it.  If you don't like him, you are free to look for another job.  I suggest you don't quit until you have one for sure.

Not all bosses are like that.  Sometimes they need to be though because if someone who works for them screws up, they get into trouble with their boss or if it is their business they endure financial hardship because of the person's screw up.  Essentially, it is their job to make sure things are done right and if they have incompetent people working for them, things are frequently done wrong.

Actually,  I am the boss and if you wanted to shut me up you could say, rules were meant to be broken....my response would be....and you were expecting that raise when?\n\nThe best way to respond to your question,  would be to say nothing.\nWhen  I have staff problems, I look  for a reason.  If you place blame, it causes friction and people tend not to cooperate after having a finger pointed at them.  Maybe I haven't explained myself properly, or in a way that a particular person would understand.  I find a lot of people are really busy trying to impress the boss, but there always comes a time,  I will find out what was neglected.  Computers don't make mistakes or lie.  They are always there for you if you treat them right.\nTell  your boss you didn't understand the procedure the way it was explained, that way he has to take time.  You all benefit.\n\nIn your case you can take the rules and wrap them around the centre cardboard of toilet paper and tell him what he can do with the rules

My boss is cool. He comes to chit chat everyday and cracks jokes and does everything a normal person would do. As long as you work and get the work done he is ok with you. But if you dont work then you see another side of him.

There are two types of work in every organisation. One is doing the legitimate work. The other is doing personal work of bosses or running errands for them. the second category enjoys the favour of bosses But for that you have to swallow your self respect. what would you prefer?

yes, they need to know who's the boss. but not abusively. They need a smack in the azz now and then.

Unfortunately, most bosses are like this....but I have learnt to face up to my boss (your boss) or anyone who is "in a way putting you down", and it works....I will turn the tables on them and ask them simply "what it is that they don't agree with" or what would they do differently, I will never allow anyone to just "put me down" without at least getting some kind of response back from them, I want to know the reason why.......especially and you must be honest, if your intentions were well meaning....and after a few times doing this to your boss, your friend, your family member, someone in a store/restaurant, believe me, you will leave them with an IMPRESSION of who you are and that will be, that you will want to get to the core of the matter........Good-Luck

I have a boss like that also.   I just show up, do my job to the best of my ability.  I have learned to block out the noise of this tyrant.\n\nThe boss is setting a good example of what type of boss and person NOT to be.  Learn from that.\n\nOne day he will either have a stroke or have a heart attack during one of his tirades.

Go to your Human recorses manager and fill for a grivence report on your boss. This could get him sacked and you a better job satisfaction.

Point it out to your boss.  Your boss should take the initaitve to watch him and fire him if he is out of line.

Not really unless he tells a boss something that's truthfull. then i can see how you could get fired. Other than that he can't get you fired for no reason, everyone has to have a reason to fire someone otherwise there's a big lawsuit waiting on them.

Give your boss a good smack in the mouth. You should see changes taking place shortly afterwards. Glad to be of help.

That's a HOOT! Typical boss trying to look intelligent. Has an ego problem.

Absolutely.  Finding a job is the hardest part.  If the conviction comes up in the interview, and it will most of the time, be honest and frank about it.  If the boss wants to be a total dickface about it, and they will most of the time, then screw 'em.  Usually dickfaces find something to be a dickface about anyway.  That's how dickfaces operate.  Basically, call the conviction a learning experience.  And it doesn't have to be flipping burgers or cleaning toilets. Pick a trade... Electronics, auto repair, landscaping... and work your way up like everyone else.
