Question

is there a website that can offer me info on how to go about reporting it

Answer 1

The best approach to reporting it is to go to his boss.
Try this link;

Here's an exert from the article; Generally, victims of verbal harassment may be able to seek damages if they can prove that the harassment was severe or pervasive enough to create a hostile work environment and was based on either race, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or, in some jurisdictions, sexual orientation, political affiliation, citizenship status, marital status, or personal appearance

Answer 2

I think that would depend on the situation as a whole. For instance, do you get pats on the back for doing a good job? Do you jeopardize your health or the safety of someone else?

I had a boss that was always yelling at us, but we were also constantly rewarded for a good job. I had another boss who never complimented good work, and regularly degraded the employees while talking softly. Which is verbal abuse? Obviously the second one.

Here are a few sites for you.

Answer 3

It depends on what the boss said. It also depends on the circumstances as to why the boss was yelling at you. Did you screw up and are overly sensitive to criticism? Did the boss demean you in front of other people? Do you have an HR department you can discuss the matter with? It is not so simple as the boss yelled at you.

Answer 4

Yelling is not harassment, it certainly is in poor taste, however not harassment.

I would speak to you boss acknowledge your mistake (the reason why they were yelling at you in the first place) and request that in the future if there is an issue that he or she would like to address to please arrange a private meeting.

You can speak to your Human resources department about the behavior as well.

Answer 5

Reporting it for what? Legally protected harassment at work has to be associated with a protected class or action (race, religion, disability, sexual harrasment, etc). Just becaue he yells at you doesn't mean he has broken any laws. It just means he's a crappy boss.

No, it is not. Suck it up, take responsibility for yourself and get on with your work. If it really bothers you that much, talk to HR.

As a nurse, and all nurses will tell you this, we get yelled at frequently but we don't want to sue anyone. We're grown-ups.
