Unfortunately, this is the correct answer. I had a boss that made it his mission to make my life and my co-workers' lives miserable. I wanted to tell this man that he sucks but, in a professional environment, you can't and it's best not to burn bridges. I put up with it. It took all of me not to say something to him since I'm usually the type of person who will say something if I feel I'm being disrespected but the fact remains that he was my boss. Until I found another place of employment, I had to be cordial. I didn't get into conversations with him and I kept out of his way. He still managed to make my days at work unbearable. I finally did stick up for myself one day (I wasn't rude about it...just told him that I didn't want to hear him speak that way) but the end result was me getting laid off about 2 weeks before the date I was going to be resigning anyway. I've learned the hard way that when you have a bully boss that you need to just be cordial and keep looking for another place of employment in the meantime.
