Answer 1

Your best choice is to quit. If he loses enough employees he will change if not they will go bankrupt.
You could sue but you will get fired, even if it isn't illegal and if you need them for a reference you won't get one.
Do go over your bosses head to explain why you are leaving.
You could suck it up and be verbally abused while you put money in your emergency fund every time it happens thinking of the day you can say those words"take this job and shove it".
Never say that it will burn bridges and not benefit you are all and you don't want to be like that manager ever.
Good luck in your replacement job.

Answer 2

I would take the supervisor aside and in private tell him that you don't really require yelling to understand what he wants and if he could alter his communication style with you...

It's risky. A brute is a brute, but he might not know how he is coming across. A lot of managers are bad and they never get any training on how to be good managers. You need to be assertive, though, don't just put up with it. If you speak up and nothing changes you might need to quit. Life is too short and you spend too much time at a job to put up with abuse.

Good luck!
