What do you do if the person that is creating the hostile environment or even bullying you has been appointed your supervisor? I have been told that if I go to the owner of the company that I will be fired by this person for going over his head. I work in a truck shop and this person who was at first hired as a dispatcher for our fleet has now been appointed as the manager of the whole company. To make a long story short, he has a personal grudge against my coworker who was my boss before this change was made and now he is after me because I will not get involved with his plan to fire my coworker. He constantly verbally abuses any employee that does not go along with what he wants. I have gone so far as to tell him that if he wants to talk to me about the situation that needs to be corrected that is one thing, but I will not tolerate being talked to in an abusive tone (cursing). I was told that if I don't like it he will fire me. I like to work for my company and I see myself having a future there, but I do not know how long I can stand to be verbally abused and threatened with the loss of my job by this person. What would you suggest I do, without turning in my resignation. I have a question in response to the hostile work environment or even the work place bully segment.

I don’t know why you humans just don’t do what we dogs do with bad actors. Just take the scruff of their necks in your jaw and shake ‘em til they roll over and expose the belly. That’s a sign of submission, you know. [...] [...] Point of Law takes on a post from the California Employee Rights Blog and calls it “very curious.” So - is a “No Bad Apples” rule a good idea?
