| Posted 2 months ago I'm sorry, but I couldn't tell from what you wrote if you had called HR or not. If you have called HR, then I'd let them investigate it. If you haven't, then you should call HR immediately. Depending on the bad name used, you might have a discrimination complaint as well. |

| Posted 21 days ago I have found that most HR departments will ultimately side with the boss. If your boss has any shred of documentation that you are not doing a sufficient job, I would not push the issue, but rather, look for another job. Sorry to be so blunt, but it is what it is. If your boss does not like you, you will never advance at your company. |

I agree with Georgia_Girl. That is exactly what I'd do. Think like loss for him, not for you! |

As I have been a victim in that same position, the best approach is to first assess what your current job performance has been like. If your job performance is such that your boss cannot say in writing that your job performance is poor, then all is not lost for you. I won nt case because I was excellent at what I do and I had the proof to back it up. My VP was FIRED! Keep your professionalism, maintain your job performance to the highest level and speak with your colleagues who have witnessed the verbal/mental abuse. If they are willing to go on record with the HR Dept. of these incidents, then you DEFINITELY have a case. Also know that you still need to work with your supervisor in the interim so it is in your best interest to remain professional and attempt to keep your contact civil. The most important fact is: Every supervisor has a BOSS! If you have made every attempt to keep the working relationship professional and productive, you have even more of a reason to report the abuse not only to the HR Dept but to your boss' supervisor. I would also document every unprofessional instance such as a journal with substantial evidence to back it all up. |

| Posted 21 days ago Ask HR to be with you when you have a calm and rationale discussion with the supervisor. Focus the discussion on creating a better working relationship moving forward. Immediately follow-up the meeting with an email that copies the supervisor and the manager recapping what was agreed upon. You now have verification in a file. If the behavior continues, it could be viewed as creating a "hostile" work environment, which may give you greater recourse. (Each state has different laws, so you would need to check what defines hostile and discrimination in your state). Sometimes, it only takes calling a bully out in front of witnesses to get them to back off. Either way, you need to find out the reason why the supervisor has such animosity and to the extent that you are able and willing, work to overcome it. You want to be happy at work, and if you leave, you want a decent reference. Good luck. |
