Should I just tell her off?

I have a part time job for now while I am still in school. I have been trying to find full time employment but to no avail. Anyway this newish manager that we have(has been working there for about 8 months) is well to put it bluntly a nasty rude ***** to me. And it seems like only to me and a couple of other people. I found myself about to yell and scream at her today when she kept snapping at me for no reason whatsoever. I feel like I am at a breaking point. I tried to talk to the other manager about this but since they're buddy buddy she just looked at me like I was crazy and it seems didn't say anything to her about it or if she did took it as a joke. She is also nasty to customers but the management here is so biased they don't actually talk to certain people whom customers complain about it's BS. I don't want to quit and then be without a job because I have bills and all that but I feel I am going to have to before I explode. I think if I cuss her out she will stop messing with me or worse case I'd be fired or something.

    Your company has a responsibility to its workers, and it sounds that your manager is harassing you.

    You should have a procedure to deal with bullies like this, but if you have not got one, then go down o your local employment office and ask if they have a leaflet about your rights. They should have something about this. Take the leaflet and underline what you feel is happening to you. When she kicks off again show her the leaflet and where you have underlined, then say "have you read this, because I have and this is your final warning, next time you pick on me I shall use the procedure to file charges about your behaviour." This should shock her and maybe she will be angry and if she is then give her the leaflet and let her read it.

    Believe it or not your company has to follow up on rules and they are called "Rights and Responsibilities. We have this here in the U.K, I hope you have the same.

    If not, go to her line manager and tell them that you want to lodge an official complaint, take notes on some of the things she says and does to you personally, so that when you have this meeting you have evidence to present in a calm manner. Even taking notes for a week or two might make this bully wonder what you are up to and if she asks you can tell her that you are taking some notes for the future. She is a bully and bullies usually back off when they realise that you have no fear.

    Good luck.

    I know what you are going thru - I have one of these at work except shes just a fellow coworker, not a manager. Honestly, I feel like you just have to suck it up and be the bigger person. Focus on just your job and try to get thru the day without getting involved with her, if possible. If she's not gonna get fired, and you don't want to quit - theres no reason to get onto her level and be a ***** back. If you are calm enough, pull her aside and tell her how you feel. Most b*tchy girls do not take that well though! good luck

    Do you know the owner or the owner company. They would love to learn about nasty managers.

    Talk to her, politely, calmly and directly.

    Don't hold in frustration until you blow up and go ballistic on someone. Then you're wrong and look like the crazy person.
