I've been working for the same employer for almost ten years. Until last year, I always received excellent performance reviews? Since then my immediate supervisor has become increasingly more abusive towards me. Even though the customers I work with continue to be happy with my work, my supervisor continually criticizes my performance. When the problem first began, I contacted HR and they told me that I needed to stand up for myself. When the abuse became worse, I contacted them again, and they said that there was nothing they could do about it. Other employees have had the same problem with this supervisor. What should I do next?

I would keep going higher in the company until you got some action. If no one wants to help you then I would take it outside the company but most likely you are going to get the answers you need inside the company. Try talking to all the managment that you can then see what happens. But I wouldn't let this go. That is not right!

Document, document, document!
Send letters and memos to HR, detailing and describing the abuse and asking the company to take action.
You don't describe the "abuse," but you need to document anything that is not justified or that is incorrect.
Is the company going through hard times and looking to fire somebody, to save costs?
Is your supervisor going through a divorce or other problems, and taking it out on people?

Have you sent emails to HR and saved them, and saved their responses. They are supposed to be there to lend support, not just tell you to take care of it yourself. Get all the other employees together and go to the higher-up boss instead of HR to get things taken care of. If that doesn't work contact your local L & I office and report a hostile work enviroment. If you have everything documented and you quit because of this enviroment you would still be eligible for Unemployment.

Go over his head . But when you do, do so in a logical and respectful manner. Put things in terms of hurting morale and productivity, and it's effect on the business. Make sure your concerns are put in the context of the success of the company. They will be better recieved that way.
