Is it verbal abuse?

I don't know what to do. My boss is an arrogant a**hole.

Literally, we were talking about a marketing plan and this is what he wrote me...

"And if anyone has a problem with my statement then tell then it's their insecurities that make them feel that way, the same insecurites you have with me. Maybe you all can get together and diagnose your insecurities."

I'm getting really sick of it. The man has a horrible temper, he will be yelling and screaming while telling me that I am too emotional. He cuts me down, trivializes anything I say as insignficant, and any time I try to discuss something he brings up -- I can't he calls it over analyzing. I can't say anything but praises to him or he flies off the handle and tells me how overly emotional you are and if I get hurt he calls me overly sensitive. Plus he likes to tell me that I am whacked and f**ked up.

Is this abuse?

Yes. It is verbal & emotional abuse. Old "yeller" sounds of his stick. Have you considered getting another job when you can & do you have emotional supports & outlets to maintain your mental health in the meantime?

Just tell him to fuck himself and quit. JK JK I know in times like this that is really not a smart option. But you do need to calmly discuss with him (preferrably with a witness) that you do not appreciate this verbal abuse and that if he has a problem with you you would be more than happy to work it out.

Verbal abuse? Well how well are you compensated for it?

Would you rather have a boss that's a great guy but can't afford to pay you enough to live on?

It's a typical loser boss that tries to buddy buddy with the shrew while still flexing the dominating muscle of being a slavemaster. You can either tough it out and let him treat you how he feels or you can job searching

-simple as that-
