My boss is abusive. HE yells and goes on rampages. He scares his employees to death. Yet he keeps getting promotions and no one admonishes him for his tirades.
Once I tried to leave work one minute early and he flipped out and made me go back to my office until 6pm on the nose.
I am a new lawyer working at a large Phoenix firm. My boss is one of the partners. I don't want to make waves because the legal community is very reputation oriented and I don't want to get a bad rep when I am trying to develop my career. All of the other partners are well aware of his behavior.
He also times employees when they take bathroom breaks.
He yells at employees for writing in the wrong color pen (when it really doesn't matter).
He treats the female attorneys like secretaries.

There is alway's human relations department and if that dosen't work do what I did. Get a micro-recorder and record his ranting and raving then leave a copy for him to find with a note. A note that can say anything you want like how would it be if a copy of this made it's way to a large client or to the people you respect and admire?

Definitely the HR department. If there is disparative treatment going on he could get into lots of trouble. Depending on all the circumstances it could possibly be considered a hostile work environment, which is illegal.

Read the story of Joseph in Genesis. That might inspire you with some good ideas.

can you join another law firm, because you need to get away from his, can't you just go quietly without saying why your leaving that company , so he doesn't smear your name all over the place? and even if he does smear your name , you can just spread rumors about his temper and ruin him .

I suggest you quit. If you need to tell anyone the truth..I would suggest telling the HR person if there is one..through your exit interview. It should be confidential.

DUH. Unless you are chained to the floor, quit.
You even have to ask the question? You say you are a lawyer? Did you learn anything in law school? Lord knows, I would not want you as MY attorney.
