I work as an engineer, I’m wondering how much verbal abuse, professional disrespect, and belittlement is legal in the United States?
I am a hard worker with a great work ethic, and work well with everyone. I work an average of 9 hrs a day, sometimes much more, and have always tried to please my manager but with little success. He is a former co-worker/peer with no people skills, recently promoted as manager for my discipline via his experience within the last year.
He micromanages my every move, treats me like a slacker, is a fault finder, and belittles me nearly, but not every, day. When he does this I always remain calm, professional, and maintain my composure, even when he yells at the top of his lungs at me. I always swallow my pride, because I love my work and have respect for my paycheck.
He will not ever let me explain my side of things. He is the type that seeks to be understood before he seeks to understand.
Anybody know what I can do without quitting?
