I have just returned to work after 11 years of raising my wonderful, beautiful children. The first few months of the 6 months I've been here, were great and I couldn't understand why the only other female co-worker in the office thought I was crazy when I told her "I love it here!" She's become a good friend, and she told me that she is glad that I like working. I've started to see my boss's ture colors and frankly it is a daily rollercoaster ride. I've tried talking to him about it. He told me to not be afraid of him, yet he turns around and acts nice one minute and critical the next. It doesn't help to know that he never fires anyone, he just runs them off. Primarily the women in the office. 6 people left, all but one were women, and they left all at once just before he hired the 5 of us. Just last week we had a wine tasting in the office, and the next day he's barking out orders about policy!. This isn't why I returned to work. I need a job, but is this worth it? Help!?!

You don't need this job, you need a job just not this one. If your not happy with your work environment you have the choice to leave there. I honestly believe you should conduct yourself with integrity. Start looking for a new job now, when you find another take a personal day to go on job interviews and get another. Do not accept this job without informing your boss with at least 2 weeks notice minimum. At that point inform your boss your leaving because you found a new job and why your leaving as professionally as possible. No one should be working somewhere they don't like or feel uncomfortable at.
All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to
poverty.

When the bad days consistently outnumber the good days, it's time to leave. You've tried to confront the issue directly, without success. It appears that there is a history with this manager and his lack of managerial skills.
Keep in mind that the grass is not necessarily going to be any greener - if you read these posts for a while you will see how many of them have to do with employees who perceive their bosses as being a large part of the problem.
If you do decide to make a move, you can certainly seek other opportunities while you are employed in your current job. Good luck!

Well if you really want to quit you need to stat looking for a good job that pays good and look for it while you still have your job work both jobs and then if the new one is better or just enough stick with that
one and quit your old one if your new one is not as good keep the old one until you find the dream job! :D (or at least the one that helps you survive! :)
I hope it all works out! :P
