wht wld u do if u had a bullying boss?

Question

my boss wanted to write a warning for me for a mistake that i didnt make, i refuesd and quit. did i do the right thing??

Answer 1

Nope! I would have reported her to HR. She wanted you out of the picture.. she got it to easy!!!

Answer 2

That depends on whether the warning was an isolated incident, or whether it was part of an ongoing pattern of bullying behavior.
If it was a one-time thing, I'd say talking to your boss about the situation, and why the warning wasn't appropriate, would've been the smarter thing to do. The next step would've been to go to your boss's boss to make a complaint.

On the other hand, if your boss had been making your life miserable for quite some time, I'd say you did the right thing. I am not a lawyer, just an HR person who had a bullying boss long ago, in a field far, far away :-) But I know that sometimes it's possible to sue a former boss for "constructive discharge" if your work situation has really become intolerable.

Answer 3

Theres a lot of info on bosses who bully . Especially if they own the business,and you have no hr to go to. Have a talk with these creeps and they just have more info to humiliate you with,and they will.Some are just annoying,but others will slowly ,play with your head on purpose. I had a new job with a lot of promises and a lot of lies. It's a long story. However after a year and my bloodpressure was up, my nerves were getting a little frayed, I was explaining to my Dr. the situation during a checkup. She said 'In your business you can get a job anywhere ,right?Why do you stay there? I explained to her the abuse, the embarressing things he say's in front of customers about me,putting me down in front of other employees,I know he really does'nt mean it, and somtimes if I have a problem with a client,or they don't have enough money to make a deal he will lower the price. So sometimes he can be a great guy. She sat me down and looked right in my eye so I had her attention. She told me "You have just told me,what every abused wife that I see tells me."She told me to be very careful,and don't get the idea that,you can change this guy,he will never respect you,no matter what you do.I did'nt listen I was there seven yrs. I have not worked in the last two years, 6 medications,and I am just getting back to normal.All due to stress, and holding it in. It can be a serious problem,so from my side ,The sooner you know about the boss,get out asap.

Maybe not, but it depends. The wisdom with jobs is that u should not quit until you have another one. And never think you have another one unless you get an offer in writing. Once it is in writing, it is legally binding. They must give you the job otherwise you can sue -- and they don't want that.

But, if your boss was draining your energy, then it was a good idea to quit. If you could have held on and quit a bit later, then maybe you should have.

But guess what? You sound young and many of us make that mistake at least once. So, don't sweat it. You will move on to the next job a wiser person. That's all that matters -- and most likely, you'll have a better boss.

Job hunting can be a pain so keep applying until you strile oil.

Take care and I wish you the best cause you deserve much better than a crappy boss.

Answer 5

Quitting, I would say, was not the right thing. In all jobs, there will be challenges and unpleasing people to work for or with. As far as your boss goes, he/she wanted to write you a warning and put it in your file. You have a right to refutes such a thing. Your HR should have been contacted, in writing, of the incident and any bullying or uncalled for pressures your boss is placing on you.
I guess what I am trying to say is for you to never surrender your rights and just give up. Fight if you are correct and correct yourself if you are not.

Answer 6

Take him to court. File a complaint against hr. It is not like you are going to get a good reference from him any way. You should not have quit. Better for them to either discipline him or settle with you to get you out a hard way or have them fire you so that you can collect unemployment. Don't be intimidated by bullying. Make him pay for it through the nose.

Answer 7

no you shouldn't have quit. you had the right to not sigh the letter and as well give a letter of explanation on how it wasn't you who made the mistake. being RIGHT, is not necessarily a reason to quit, but a way to make your self more valuable your boss is human and can make errors as well. You only showed him that you weren't mature enough for not standing up for your self

Answer 8

I had a bully for a boss before. Went back to school, kissed that horrid job goodbye.
You were right...never take the blame for something you have not done.
I hope you find a better job soon!

Answer 9

She might desire to circulate on praising me and my strikes. And with each and every circulate she might desire to tell the maza she have been given out of it. notwithstanding if first timers on no account shop particularly. it is the time while they're seeing something for the 1st time and getting a different style unquestionably they cry. it is the time while a bud is starting to be a flower for this reason it makes noise.

Answer 10

I guess you did the right thing if you don't have a family to support with that job you just quit.

Answer 11

I think you did the right thing.....good job. but for future reference try to make them pay for the way they treat you by reporting them to a higher boss or to an agency that takes care of people who don't know how to treat others right.
