We have a coffee system that has rows of different coffee . i had added a new row of coffee to where it only had two packets which i moved to the next row. She seen me doing that and she starded yelling at me about it. Telling me that the all the older packets needed to be used first. But when she told me she was shaking at the same time. I just said to myself its going to be ok lady, if its almost gone im sure they would be used. This is my first good job that pays me 10.00 an hour to sit here and just answer phones.I was so mad that i wanted to say your are crazy but i closed my mouth and almost went into tears. No one ever has yelled at me like that.

First off, your manager's actions were completely inappropriate. You need to have a sit-down with her and asks why she would blow up in such a way over something so small. Tell her that you didn't know about her special arrangement of coffee packets and that you didn't mean to offend her. If that doesn't get her off her high horse than go to a higher-up and explain the situation. You might not be the only employee that has a problem with this manager and that will be taken into account. Sounds, like someone has a case of the Mondays.

Sounds to me like the poor dear is suffering emotional/premenstrual/menopause
?? problems...and she shouldn't take it out on your but there it is..
You can't change her or her behavior, but you can toughen up a bit. Getting yelled at is not pleasant but also not something you should take personally because you know you did nothing wrong. Much in life depends on your attitude and if you see this as an opportunity to learn and grow instead of a personal attack on you, you'll eventually walk away the winner.
Don't get sucked into her emotional dramas!!

Find yourself a counselor because I'm sure she won't, even though she's the one who needs it.
You may be encouraged by your counselor to begin assertiveness training, or to find a new job as soon as you can. I understand that that might mean in two years...
but your health is important, your sense of self is important, and your ego may not easily survive this kind of constant anxiety.
So, you may end up with worse problems than even poverty if you do nothing, and yet you need to hold on to find a better job.
This person sounds toxic, and in need of therapy herself.
I hope you will find someone to vent to and to advise you as situations come up.
Keep your head up as much as you can till this improves!

This behavior is unacceptable. Make a meeting with this person, but take someone in with you to witness.
Explain calmly that you cannot tolerate being screamed at and ask her to promise never to do it again. If she apologizes and promises not to, give her another chance. If she has another fit, go straight to her boss IMMEDIATELY. You will have the person with you to attest to what she did.
If she promises and then does it again, you should also go to her boss. This is completely unacceptable behavior.

It is gonna sound far fetched. But she has nothing better to do. Plus (here's the far fetched but true part, not that) she is jealous of your voluptousity. You remind her of something that makes her want to change and control you. "Its going to be ok lady." LOL for THAT, you get a star. Maybe you should make it your mantra.

Welcome to real life . . . lots of yelling on jobs . .
When it comes to those situations it is best to avoid the crazies as much as possible or start looking for another job (but there will be crazies there too - develop a thick skin)

Welcome to the "working world". Some people "are" crazy here.
You may have to get used to it if you otherwise enjoy your job.
