My boss just raised his hands to my face...

My boss just raised his hands to my face...

You ever had a really rough tough boss? Ex-Cop and Ex- Fireman too?

Was he a yeller??? A screamer???

That who my boss is. about 2 days ago he belittled me in front of my supervisor, yelled at me, and raised his hand at me (for some reason... I can't remember what he was trying to say).

He basically said it was for my own good...

That was 2 days ago.

Your best option at this point is too completely humble yourself.


I am trying my best to do that. In fact, I think that is why the Director got so mad was because he couldn't get a reaction out of me... and I kept explaining myself.... and I was right. He really didn't like that.

Mostly I plan at tomorrows meeting is to just say "yes sir' and 'how do I make this better' and 'well what about".

All in a nice manner. Professional all the way. I'll just have to get angry later...

Never try to explain to your boss that he is wrong. He is your boss. If you agree, he has no ammunition. If you say, "you are right, and I am wrong and I'm sorry it won't happen again", he has no ammunition. His only choice then is to be a total A-hole. He can't argue. If he continues, you say the same thing. Don't add any "buts" into it. If he tries to make you bend over though, I would run...

(You've got to keep a sense of humor in life too, or you'll definitely go crazy)

I think I did crack a smile as he was yelling at me for no reason... he didn't like that either.



Tried very hard to keep myself from not dieing from laughter, although his yelling and then pointing alerted me to his unwillingness to control himself.

2 hours to... THE MEETING AT HIGH NOON at the office.

As I thought they basically made me feel like it was my fault somehow. They said maybe the Director of Security just speaks with his hands... WHAT???? I missed a meeting with the director... I told them I just happened to be in the hospital... they said "well we think that date was different. Not in March."

Blamed me for allot of things... I proceeded to ask them more questions. I must aggravate people with my very intrusive questions. He really wanted for me to believe everything was OK, that I have a new site, and it was really my fault and I could have gotten fired anyway. To me that means that this site is my last and if I make one mistake I am out of here... retrobution...

Boy, I am sure glad I contacted OSHA.


They just happened to call while I was in the hour and 20 minute meeting. It petty much ended the meeting.



I am sure they know that I called even though it was anonymous. I am already expecting retobution... but as Mr. Chas stated with a little rephrase by me, bullies just can't stand when you don't react. They really can't!!! I just ask questions and say yes sir... but TRUST ME, I did not like the way I was treated FOR 7 MONTHS.



AND I will not stand for someone else to go through the same thing NOR WILL I read in the paper one day about how someone was killed there. I REFUSE TO BE THAT PERSON. the person who could have done something but did not. This matter WILL be cleared up. Soon...

Wow, another fighter is born. Best of luck, its a tough road. One day, this will be a great nation. One person at a time.

It is a tough road indeed. It helps to know they are completely and utterly wrong. I don't like what I feel I have to do, but somebodies got to do it. I seem to be the best option right now.

I'd have coldcocked the pr. Got every ounce of my 250 pounds behind the punch. Aimed it about 6 inches on the other side of his head........ Then, looking down at the limp remains I would have said, I guess I talk with my hands too.

But that's just me. Some say I'm a bit reactionary.
