My manager is always yelling and telling me off. I always do what I have to do at work because I am a new employee. I started 3 months ago. He would ask me to take inventory of all the office supplies we needed and when I completed I gave him the list so that he can review it. Weeks later he will come to me and ask me if I can take inventory again because he never ordered the items that I placed on the sheet. In my mind, im like he is wasting my time. I have other important things I have to do at work.
Im really afraid that I am going to get fired. What should I do?

I love my job but when the new manager was hired my whole inside turned upside down

You shouldn't be afraid of getting fired from a job you don't like, they should be afraid of losing you. The sooner you get out of that corrosive work environment, the better. Talent is too scarce for managers to treat their employees that way - it's time for you to find a job where you're appreciated.

If you really love your job and don't want to leave, then figure out a way to deal with the misery. My advice is to be proactive and give him less reasons to yell at you (even though you didn't deserve the drama in the first place). If you know that he's going to ask you to do inventory because he forgets to order the supplies, just make a copy of the first list you gave him and then give it to him again when he asks. Prioritize your projects and tell him that you need to get something out because a deadline is coming up and that you'll deal with his [petty] requests when you have the time. Be professional, but don't let him walk all over you. Just because he's your boss doesn't give him the right to yell at you like that. I would also talk to your HR person about the yelling since that doesn't sound appropriate.

First you should always remain calm. Don't get angry or you will say something that will get you fired. The next time he yells at you, just ask him, calmly and politely, what you did to make him yell at you. Also, when you got hired were you given a handbook or something like that? You should look into it and find out what your exact job description is, maybe inventory is part of it. If it is not, then tell him that you feel like you are singled out to do inventory every time. REMEMBER: use "I statements" (I feel like... or I am...) DON'T use "you statements" (you make me... or you always...)

To the person who said quit and find a new job, well she must not pay her own mortgage. YOU find a new job and then quit. SHe is right, life is too short.

Maybe you could go to someone over his head and let them know what is going on. Be professional and voice your concerns to his boss.
