Can my manager tell me he s going to kill me?

First of all he said this loudly in front of customers. Second it was for a reason that wasn t my fault, which he later found out during the night and didn t even say sorry. Can t he get in a lot of trouble for saying that kind of thing to an employee and especially in front of customers?

    I can't tell you how many times a boss has told me he was going to kill me - in front of customers - and it never happened.

    If the "hostile environment" is created because of race, religion, disability, you might have a case. Otherwise, suck it up or quit, cupcake.

    There are no laws against:

    a boss being a jerk

    a boss threatening to kill you because of a perceived mistake

    a boss yelling at you in front of customers

    a boss not apologizing to you. (Note: a boss is NOT obligated to say sorry, so get over yourself.)

    You have options though. You can quit.

    terroristic threats are a crime.

    maintaining a hostile work place is unlawful.

    you got him by the throat.

    maybe he'd like to settle this btwn you and him.

    say $1000 down & $500/mo, 4 day week - 5 day pay; gold-plated health care, & pension; fast track for promotions; glowing recommendation.

    EDIT : look up labor law on "hostile workplace."

    call state labor board.

    when your somewhat informed, [lawyers like to see that,] call labor lawyers for opinions; calls are free unless they say upfront they'r not. dont bring tht up, let them if they choose to but prob wont,

    most see these calls as a chance to pitch their services.

    Also, begin documenting how this has harmed you : anxiety, depression, loss of appetite/over eating, insomnia, etc;

    you'v had to see shrinks, etc
