I understand that there are bullies at work. I hope that this time you can be stronger. Take it minute by minute if you have to...or jot down the negative things your manger says. This has helped me if I ever need to bring my problem out.

Thanks Elena, I appreciate the feedback.

Sometimes bosses say dreadful things and the trick is how to turn what they are saying into something useful. You usually can if you work hard.

Identify what they have said, and see if there is anything you can do about it to make their frustration with you go away.

We're not really taught this nowadays. We're taught to kick up a stink. But kicking up a stink leaves a person without a job, and it's just not practical. Learning how to stay under your boss' radar, read the signs, preempt frustration and earn their respect and trust is less taught but far more financially advantageous.

What happened? What did the boss say? What was the context surrounding it? Maybe we can find a silver lining in this cloud?

I am sorry you are going through a hard time. I hope you can deal with this. Hugs.

Why do you say that's not possible? What do you have a fear of. I had a boss that treated me horribly but when I walked away from it, it was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders! I thought I wouldn't be able to pay my bills but money seemed to come to me from unexpected places. I really believe that if you throw yourself into the arms of the unknown, good things will happen....But you have to have Faith!

God Bless!

Boss's being bullies ought to be illegal. It is possible to correct somebody in a way that is not hurtful. To hurt is counter productive to everything a Good boss should be trying to do. Hugs.

Thanks everyone for all the positive input! Today was actually a better day at the job, and I was able to communicate better with my boss. Hopefully this can continue. I really appreciate all the advice and reassurance.
