you can definitely report her. She's harassing you and other workers. That's not acceptable. Talk to your manager or other supervisor/superior about it.

I agree with Joseph. You can report her to HR or your boss, but their is no outside agency that will care. I would take it, that this "lady's" behavior is common knowledge and acceptable (unfortunately) in that workplace. Your best bet is to start applying elsewhere. I don't know you, but I DO know that no place is worth enduring that! Yes, the economy is bad and unemployment is sky-high. However, I landed a job almost immediately upon looking and my state has one of the highest unemployment levels in the whole country. Go find someone who will appreciate you and treat you well. Document everything in the meantime: dates, times, specifics. You should tell her to "Fuck off" and tell her that "there is no one stupider and more of a liar than you!" Bullies pick on the weak ones only. Stand up for yourself and start your job search NOW. Best wishes!

I would ask around, talk to your co workers and see if everyone has these same issues with her. If so, ask a few of them to go with you to your manager or even better, write an official letter of complaint and have everyone sign it. I dont really agree with "bullying" her back... I think the best bet to to ignore her for the moment and try as much official and professional complaints as you can. All else fails, talk to the lady. Let her know you don't appriciate the way she treats you and let her know that if she keeps it up, you'll be filing an official complaint.

ps, but i definitely agree with keeping track of all the incidents with this woman.
WHAT I WOULD DO, if she is just a co worker and not a boss... tell her how you feel. Let her know you will be filing a complaint if the abuse doesn't stop, then keep a voice recorder on you. When she starts the abusive language, pull it out for ALL to see and start recording. She will either keep yelling and give you the proof you need to file a complaint, or she will shut up because she is being recorded. Either way, works out for you lol

I definitely agree with Phoenixkitten. You should document it because when you do want to go to HR, they'll require "evidence." Plus, it helps your case when you provide emails, etc. of the problems because they'll ask "what did they do?" and "when did this happen?"

No one has the right to talk to you like that at the work place.

Hi, everyone:

I really appreciate all the good advice here. I did reflect this incident to the bosses. Unfortunately, they know that already (since I'm not the first victim) but they do not intend to do anything about it. This is a very small company and this person is in charge of HR work. So I guess I run out of options here within this company.

However, all your support do make me feel better. I am going to start documenting / recording what's going on in this place. Just in case. In the mean time, it is time to think about moving on ... ...

lol

The stress from the abuse i have to take daily from my boss sent me into a terrible fibro flare, near breakdown, and had to go to ER partly because of it. I am a chronic pain paitient and am forced to do back breaking work all day and get told im not good enough and never going to be. I am now out of work trying for short term disability for pain and stress. My HR office said she will not hold my job and has been of no help. I went to HR a few times about the abuse and HR sided with management and said I need to step up my game. At this point I dont know what to do, cant pay bills, cant afford insurance after next month or 2 and am in a bad situation all around.

ive been going thru this for 2 years but its my boss thats this way he has been reported in the past several times by workers and even customers and nothing is done here in TN the right to work law keeps anything from being done you can be fired for no reason. so hopefully your state is different if its like here theres nothing you can do but pray for another job like I have been doing.

Hi, I'm in NJ. This person is not the boss, but since she's boss's "favorite", she gets away with anything. Yesterday she was yelling at another worker. The boss, instead of being fair and ask her to watch what she says, he told the other worker "walk out if you want to". I'm definately looking for another job, but in the meantime, I'm watching them too. Isn't there a saying "what goes around comes around?"
