I know someone who goes through emotional and mental torture inflicted by her boss. THere are several times that he has threatened to fire her or charge her for missing items that were clearly not her responsibility for maintenance and security. This has been going on for quite awhile and she has tendered resignations many times, but each time her boss would talk her out of it.
Has any of you had similar experiences?

have the boss arrogant is a bad experience mentally.
My experience dealing boss like that is a record of all work orders that governed the boss. with record like that, I have a basic command of evidence and work clear. Later, when he was still angry over what I have done, I live to show those records

This is definitely a sound advice coming from you. And I would have to agree, the best way to dispute accusations and threats would be to show him facts and records. I guess there are just some people who does not have qualms mentally and emotionally torturing other people.

That's awful. If that happens to me, I would immediately take off as soon as I can. And if my boss won't let me, I will report it to the authorities/department of labor.
Fight for your rights!

Thanks. I have been telling her the same thing. Her boss always make threats about firing her. It's funny because she could easily get another job with her qualifications. I guess she has grown to love the company and the people on it as well as the fact that she is the type to dread having to deal with a major change in her life.

Hi Prettycho, your friend is too weak. She should find a new job, and then tendered resignation. In this case, her boss will not be able to talk her into staying in the job.
Since she has cried wolf so many times, and taken no action, she's putting up with all the mental tortures.
Sorry to say that I dont feel sorry for her, she could have taken action to get herself out of this situation.
I pity those who cannot quit the job because of the bond. Some of them signed for three years bond, and they couldn't just quit. These are the ones who cannot quit even though they been through all kind of mental torture.

I also think your friend must figure it out quickly, it's harmful to her in this kind of circumstance, But I can totally understand, when a person was farmiliar with some enviroment, he/she would not willing to change. I am a little the same kind of person.
Hope she have found a good job now.

That is emotional blackmail! That guy doesn't fit to be a boss at all. He's more like a big bully to me. I haven't experience anything like that before but If I were in here position, I'll leave the company immediately because I deserve to be treated better and with respect, so do all employees no matter how decent their position in the workplace is.
