Yes its abuse. When I'm called things like a "pussy", and accused of being a drug dealer when I'm not, that is abuse.

Unfortunately, abuse is subject to so many things. Sexually, none! Mental or emotional is dependent on the person, but if it can be proved, then you may have a court case. Just make sure that the company doesn't have some part of the abuse listed as part of a "job requirement". For example, if one answered phones for a call center and is being verbally abused by angry callers, that would be considered part of the job. But, if you can't take the abuse or its part of your job and if you don't do it you'll get fired, i would definitely find something else to do for a living. Hope this helps!

Hi Dan, time to take control of your own destiny. I decided that I just don't subscribe to the usual making someone else rich and undermining my own confidence while doing it.
I started a home business and not only are all those problems gone, but I now earn more than any employer would have ever paid me, I choose who I work with and even choose when I want to work. Of course I work all the time now because I'm excited about my business growing through my own efforts.
I will never get tangled up in the work world again, having too much fun earning a living this way!

None. No level of abuse is acceptable, nor is any level of harassment. If you are being abused at work and can afford an attorney, go to one. If you can not afford an attorney, no matter what state or country you live in except maybe Zimbabwe there is a labor board of some sort that will work with and for you. Keep in mind though that once you begin proceedings against your employer he is not going to be happy with you.

The first step is to go to either you Supervisor or HR Manager and make them aware of the abuse. If the problem continues let them know again and document everything. Documentation is key. If nothing is done then contact an attorney or your State Labor Board and file a formal complaint of Harrassment, not abuse.

None, zip, zero, zilch. In America there are laws against workplace abuse. There are avenues to complain- The Labor Board, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission , and The Department of Labor to name a few.

they shouldn't have to endure any
but I do understand how that does happen because my husband use to work for a auto dealership a few weeks ago and had been there for over two years...he was the only one working because I stay home and take care of our 3yr old and 1yr old.
Lots of times, he'd come home so angry because the bosses there were treating him so bad, like yelling at him and even swearing at him and most of the time they would do that in front of other people too(like customers or if their relatives and friends were there visiting them, they would still treat my husband like that, right in front of them....I think it just made them feel so big doing it in front of others cause they were supervisors) But my husband endured all of this because he knew he had a family to take care of...even though all the way through it I kept telling him to just quit, we don't need the money that badly, so what if we get behind on all our bills, we only need enough money to feed, clothe and house our babies.

You shouldn't have to go through that. Have you ever watched North Country? It is a movie about the first harassment suit against an employer in US history. I would recommend getting another job. Nothing is worth being treated that way.

none, but everyone usually does of some form or another at somepoint in their working life, whether it be verbal, sexual, and in some cases physical, or a boss who abuses his authority in some way. Especially those that work labor and service jobs in less fortunate countries.

Absolutely none. Are you sure it IS abuse? Because I know some people who consider RULES to be abuse.

No more than 2 metric abuse-units per day.
