I can't believe I fell for this one. How are things at J.O.K.E.?

So how does it feel to work for abusive Miguel, who manages people only when he's off Foro and throws squash raquets at his employees?

I suspected he was abusive when I saw the pic of Presi. The poor cat probably looked like a Chau Chau before Abusive Miguel owned him.

No I had no involvement with Presi, I believe Presi fell to earth a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..

.. So yes this article was a bit of satire inspired by a bit of software testing. I work with Miguel, and knew he would find my posting in the forum. Some time ago, as part of my work, I had to create a blog on a test web account, and the 'abusive boss' blog was born. I do appreciate that a number of people responded seriously though, and I meant no offense, and the information will certainly be useful for when Miguel does start to verbally abuse me.

Anyhow that was as good an introduction to the forum as any!

For the record, he did throw a squash raquet at me ;)

Hi! Ian

Welcome. My advise is first let him know that what he said is offending. If you don't say anything he probably think you are accepting these harassment. Then you should record the conversation but always have witness around to here all this. Don't forget it will be his word against yours. Also document what he tells you and the date. You need proof. I know all of us need the job but not to be treated that way. Take care

Ian, i think you should take God's advice. A friend of mine did the same thing when she worked for CitiBank. She had a boss that was completely unbearable and unacceptable. So she recorded their meetings and what he would say. She took it to a lawyer ... $50,000 in her pocket later, she no longer works for CitiBank and that boss no longer works there either.

Just remember noone has the right to belittle or ridicule you unless you allow them to. Stand up for yourself and don't let it get any worse!

BTW... welcome to FORO...

I don't know if your post is serious, but I just went through a discrimination/harrassment workshop last week at work in which a case just like this was discussed and actually brought to the Human Rights Tribunal in Montreal. I also experienced something along these lines a few years ago and the witch that I worked for was, well, a witch, so much so that I had to bring up the issue with Human Resources. I was given the boot, but so was she. This kind of behaviour is just totally reprehensible and really unacceptable in the workplace. I would bring the issue with HR. A job is really not worth the trouble.
