What can I do in my current job situation?

Question

I have a boss who is very abusive. He bullies, insults, lies, changes direction, blames others, and verbally assaults the employees self esteem every day. I have seen other employees quit because of this, and others have complained to HR but nothing has been done and now they're the victims of retaliation by the boss. He has even said out loud that he would kill anyone that would cost him his job, so I am also physically scared of this person. I realize I have the option to find another job but I like this job and I have been offered a promotion but would still have to work under the same boss. Quitting would be my last resort but I cannot function under the stressful working conditions, my work is beginning to suffer. What options do I have?

CONTACT THE OWNER OF THE BUSINESS, NOT HR. or CALL THE "BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU" and explain your situation. You can legally get a petition, and have other employees sign it, if HR is overlooking employee abuse, they can be fired as well, for not taking care of their employees. You can sue them for abuse, and get the other employees to back you up and be witnesses.

Good Luck to you, and I am sorry you have a dooooshbag for a boss.

Man-up or move on.

You can't change the boss, but you can control how you react.  I have had a lot of jobs in my life, and all of them had some people problems, some more and some less.  Just avoid him, but be polite to him and always agree with him to satisfy his ego.  You might even force yourself to complement him occasionally.  That won't be easy, but you might be shocked at the improvement that it will engender.
