Current Events > Is this a valid reason to leave my job?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't even hate the job otherwise, there's just one thing that really bothers me.

My manager is an ok guy. I've been with the company for 2 months so far, and he is helpful and accommodating. My issue is with my boss, who is the head of the department I'm in.

He has a short temper. Literally an on and off switch, and he actually yells out of the top of his lungs. Actually screaming. Its never warranted either. One guy was yelled at because he asked him a question.

It feels stupid leaving a job because of one person. There are other managers that give us poor treatment as well, but I would otherwise overlook it if it weren't for my boss. He gives the place a bad atmosphere, and I directly report to him so its not like I can avoid him.

Unless you have enough savings to last for a bit, don't leave a job without having another one lined up. I feel you though TC I've left places because of a boss/manager before.

not if that person is your superior.

Every single job i've ever left in my life has been because of bosses and managers.

I would've stayed at the fucking sub shop I worked in at high school until age 65 if the new boss treated us with the same respect the previous boss did.

I had a boss JUST LIKE THIS. I felt like I was getting abused just speaking to her.

I didnt quit till I had another job though.

I agree. What entry level jobs are out there where the treatment is pretty good?

I feel like I wouldn't be as annoyed with a female lol. Although maybe she was super manly.

There is absolutely NO way to know this, in every walk of life there are good people and shitty people. I had amazing and shitty bosses from age 15-20 making $20,000 and from and 25-30 making $60,000.

Do it if you feel like you can't possibly tolerate him anymore, but make sure your ducks are in a row first.

Don't ever leave a job without making sure you got something lined up to land on.
Quitting without a fallback is one of the stupidest things to do.

No one in the US ever has a problem finding a job :p

Literally me. One person from hr is argh.

Next time, just say, "What? I couldn't hear you!"

Or just walk out mid sentence. People who behave like this go from 10/10 angry to 20/10 angry when you say, "nah, brah. You don't get to behave like this."

Why would walking out be ok?

That's workplace bullying and he should be reported.

Do you not have an HR department. Even if they are the boss most places I've worked don't fuck around when it comes to complaints to HR. Shit is taken very seriously

False.

HR is only concerned with the company and will build a case to fire TC in order to protect the company.

lol that's wrong

HR will throw a manager that's acting like this right under the bus to avoid lawsuits, etc

probably hasn't even been reported yet because people are intimidated and worried they'll get fired if he finds out

Your problem is TC that you allowed this shit to happen for so long. The first time any coworker/boss/superior yells or screams at you, you just keep it moving for that time.

Then later in the day you tell them "I understand you were frustrated and all that, but you aren't my mother or father. Treat me with respect because I'm not screaming or yelling at you like a child."

I've said this two times in two separate jobs. Never got fired for saying it.

I don't want to get a guy fired because I have a complaint. His other employees might be ok with it. Plus he has been with the company for over 30 years.

Even of that were true, I wouldn't want to work for a company that has practices like that.

1. He hasn't yelled at me yet. He has yelled at other employees. I have gotten lucky so far.
2. I've only been with the company for 2 months. Not enough time to say anything really.

It's my boss.
My direct manager is fine. He manages a few people, including me.
My boss is the one with the issue. He overseas everything in the department. He is the head of this department

No, I don't have anything lined up. I'm not dating I'm gonna quit tomorrow. I'm going to apply for some jobs first.
