So I started this new job in March and I have something similar just a different department. Anyways, things were fine in the beginning except for my boss... who has pissed off a lot of people. I wanted to stay until next year but I am not sure if I can mentally do that (along with the fact that I have to work on school). Anyways, what I have noticed is she kind of picks and chooses who she picks on. She picked on some other of the girls but some she has never even raised a voice at. Those girls are gone now and one of the guys I was cool with left (mostly because of the pay). She would look for me and try to follow me in the hallways (which I personally found as harassment but maybe I'm over reacting?) and would keep track of every minute you even left. She went off about how errands should only take 7 minutes (which is impossible and every co-workers knows that). She once kind of snuck up behind me and yelled at me in front of the male co-workers. Then a few months ago she was texting a co-worker and was talking crap about another co-worker (who was also in the room). Then just yesterday I was running errands and briefly stopped to greet someone and then told them that I couldn't talk long because I had errands. I came back to the office and she kept asking me where I was and I told her how I was running errands. She asked me if I stopped and talked to anyone and I said "yes but only briefly! Even one of the other co-workers guarding saw the whole thing and saw me do errands" and she said "it shouldn't take 30 minutes (Which it did not) to go two places (keep in mind she never even does errands) and said "we've been over this" and went to tell the boss and then accused me of rolling my eyes (which I didn't) to the boss. Then we had a meeting and then someone accidently walked into the meeting and she brought them in and asked them questions such as "how long should errands take? and etc.) it was so embarrassing. What do I do? Tips? Should I quit? Thanks everyone!
I'd say if there is an upper boss or even corporate or HR you should def talk to them about what is going on. That is not a good boss if she is yelling and belittling people. It's unfair and it's just going to drive people away. If anything someone needs to bring this to her attention. If it's too much having a one on one with her then go to someone else but make it known. It's not fair to you or anyone else to be putting up with that. Just because they are "boss" that's not a leader to look up to at all. Stand up for yourself and the rest. A job is a job and you can easily be replaced so no need to stay there but do bring it to someone. She obviously feels entitled to do so because no one has spoken up about it. Yet I bet a lot of people feel the same as you do. So it's time to speak up!!

So, i had a horrible boss I tried to please. But she was awful.
So now, if I get a horrible boss who disrespects me or is just a pain in my ass, I'm gonna just tell 'em straight up. "Ey, you gettin' on my nerves. I said I'll get to this when I'm done with this." Not straight out sock them because that must mean they REAAALLY pissed me off but mainly put my foot down. Ain't gonna be dealing with bullshi now a days from some rat who's there to work for some dickhead
toxic people don't need to be handled they need to be avoided
