    Never tolerate a boss who yells at you, insults you, or anything disrespectful at all. It’s okay to tolerate it temporarily if you need the job for some given reason, but have a plan to leave and find a better environment. The best LEADERS never yell at or insult their workers. They encourage them, they teach, they promote a great attitude in the workplace, etc.

      My former boss yelled at me when I was still new cause I kept asking one guy instead of another one questions. He said I was ruining the dynamics of the team and that at his company everyone is a team. I was left confused and if I didn't *NEED* the job I'd have quit immediately and not even showed up the next day, but the guy who helped me get the job was the guy I kept asking questions, boss didn't like this at all lol. I would have burst out laughing but the dude was really upset at me on my first month working there. He didn't yell since that day but I couldn't have seen myself lasting a year in that place.

      A lot easier said than done for many people. My boss literally screams and curses at me anytime I make a mistake big or small. He acknowledges he has a problem with his temper and often apologizes afterwards. I would like nothing more than to leave but i support a wife and children with this job and cannot leave without having a firm job offer in place elsewhere

    I had a similar situation where a short little ex-marine boss with a Napoleon complex would go on tirades at the otherwise professional staff. Right off the bat when he pulled that with me I calmly but firmly told him that sort of behavior might work with the others, but it doesn't with me, and never talk to me like that again. And he never did. He did with the others, but never with me. Right from the beginning you need to set the perimeters, but also be prepared for the possible consequences.

      Back when I was in nursing school (2005) I started waitressing at a local family-owned restaurant. I was new and had to scoop ice cream for a table. The ice cream scoop was always right there with the ice cream, but this day it was not. They were kept in the cook’s area and wait staff generally did not invade. So I asked the owner (who was the cook) “hey Jack, where are the ice cream scoops?”. He said “come on, don’t be stupid”, stopped what he was doing to walk over to me, put is arm around me and condescendingly guide me to a random drawer and then asked “what are you, an idiot?”. I kept my mouth shut and completed my shift. After closing, as I was leaving, Jack was sitting at a table, drinking a glass of wine and watching a ball game. I said “excuse me Jack. I don’t work for anyone who calls me a “stupid idiot”. If you speak to me like that again, I’ll walk out and work somewhere else”. He just pursed his lips, nodded and then went back to his ballgame. Never had another problem with him. I don’t think these people are called-out often enough.

    He wouldn't listen and every week came in complaining, he then began lifting the empty plastic bottle and hitting me on the back with it, it didn't hurt at all, but him touching me at all was really pissing me off.
    Eventually I told him, look I don't drink that water and I would appreciate if you kept your hands off me.
    He went on a tirade, and started shouting the place down, I told him over and over I don't drink the water, he just kept shouting, I'd ask why he wouldn't believe and that I don't use the water, he just continued, eventually he got in my face, pointed to the door and told me to "Go"
    I stood my ground, because he was shorter than me I looked down my nose at him, told him he's not my boss, he sbacked off and started complaining, I walked out on him mid sentence.
    He since changed his attitude, bully's are all the same 😂 Cowards.
