Yes, when I many years ago worked as a temporary waiter for a personnel agency and helped at Melbourne Convention Center. They had us working like dogs with barely any lunch break and wanted everything to finish before a certain deadline (cause otherwise they had to pay us overtime). Some of the supervisors were very rude and after several verbal comments left and right, one bashed out on one of the waiters for taking a moment to chill down. Since that individual didn't have the energy to argue back, I took the initiative and was verbally beaten down with additional comments about our poor performance etc.

I turned finally around and said, F you and F you all! She raised her voice and so did I, until I said, stop yelling or I'll stick that walkie talkie up your ass. I was escorted out by security and never returned.

No, worked through all those over many years.. rarely got disciplined as I was key player.

I was tortured at work and left after that under new boss and lot of change, but that's different... it was intentional. Yes, corporations will torture people, there's some sick people that get to high positions.

I was verbally abused. I should have realized my time there was limited no matter what I did. Ended up laid off and found out the a**holes made agreements with other companies in the same industry to not hire each other’s former employees for five years. I think that’s illegal but I could never get recruiters and insiders to provide me with documentation. It was just something everyone knew of.

Ha! In the industrial world "verbal abuse" is pretty much the standard. I am more concerned about having a job I don't hate and where the income is reasonable and steady.
