I would say that more than half of my working life was working for one abusive boss or another. Now that I am retired, I do not miss the daily grind at all. I only had one encounter, similar to what you said, that stopped the abuse. My boss was a former captain in the Army, as was I. Thus, he expected more from me than the other guys, and the two ladies. Without a pay raise or promotion, I became his second in command. He put his hands to my throat once, and an officer of the company pulled him off. No need for a law suit. Suddenly, no one could remember that event ever happening – thus it was a culture at the company.. There was physical, emotional, and verbal abuse. I was responsible for my 3-4 projects and regarding budget, everyone else’s projects. I had one project that was ready to be sent to the customer, a computer-based training program with videos and audios on CD. He came to my desk and screamed so that everyone could hear that I had five errors within the first two minutes of course time. He demanded an explanation. I did not make eye contact. I did not raise my voice. In fact, I whispered so that only he could hear, almost. I said, “I cannot do it. What you are asking me to do is read your mind. There are only one or two errors in the entire CD, 10 hours of instruction. A word that was mispronounced, but with different colloquial manners of speech, that error is acceptable. One pause in audio is too long, another is too short? That is all subjective. I will fix what I think are worthy corrections, but I cannot put up with this any longer.” He did not even grunt. He just went back to his office. The oldest guy in the group heard a little of what I said and told me to get a bully to back off, you had to punch him in the nose. But I didn’t have to. He never apologized, but he never got angry at me enough to voice it. After that encounter, he trusted me – having me to the final review before publishing instead of him for every project in the group, including my own. I had stood my ground, on my terms, and he accepted it. I still would have liked a pay raise. Thanks for you suggestion.

Wow! There are definitely some horrible bosses out there. I’m so glad that you don’t have to deal with that any longer.
