I know I'm not the first to ask about quitting job - temp agencies have lots of jobs I could take, some at same pay, some a bit less. The boss's screaming is starting to give me chest pains (angina?) - this last time he asked me if I had a mental problem and need my head examined. He said his 5 year old could do some of my tasks.
My co:workers said that other employees in my position have just left, and many temps wouldn't take the job.
One co:worker's wife helped out for a while until the boss told her a moron could do the task she was having trouble with. That's when she handed him the work and said "OK, then you do it"!
This guy screams at vendors, customers, people who cold-call, and sometimes other employees.
But mostly me - we have really butted heads and when I offered last week to quit, he said "No, don't quit. Just stop "F" ing up on the job!".
Should I just walk out if I'm pretty sure I can find temp work at the least?

Oh, and my boss is the president/owner. I've tried telling the VP/owner about this but he said I just have to work it out with the Pres. Some of the other employees have said I need to yell back at him, and that he tends to respect people more when they do. I might do that when I find another job (temp or other), but I don't see the point of having to lower myself to his level in order for him to respect me. Plus I really don't know it would work anyway. I'm just not like that.

Well, today I bit the bullett. I told them of my intentions. I have to give them a letter tomorrow, with a date. I have a job interview tomorrow already. I have an appointment with an employment agency next week, after I take my mom to the doctor.
Good or bad, I went for it. I am so relieved. I may be "sorry" later, but at least the chest pains may be gone for now.
