Boss rant

[clearlycrystal]

I just need to rant....One of these days I'm going to completely lose it on my asshole boss. If I wasn't our only source of income I would so tell him to fuck off.
I really would like to get him fired but feel bad for his wife and kids if I do. This man has gone on a cussing rampage today because our home office won't give in to his demands. He regularly calls me a bitch under his breath. He constantly berates me and others. He has told me the following...
he would never hire a man as a secretary.
All democrats are dumb and he doesn't want one working for him.
He doesn't understand how anyone could ever be protestant.
He will not have a gay client.
We also do not have a single black client.
He also reported a Muslim client for money laundering due to his race. He was not laundering money. How can one person be so prejudice?
He constantly complains about his free trips to top resorts all over the world because of pettiness like his flight gets in an hour later than desired or his teenage kids have to sit behind him on the flight. Please go whine about your perks to someone else who gets them and not your under paid assistant who has to remind you daily ctrl c is copy and ctrl v is paste.

Now I'm just more angry that this dumb prejudice ass is my boss.

wut.  I would report his ass SO fast to HR.  And I'd also document the shit out of this for a lawsuit.

Um, is there an HR department where you work? If yes, please start documenting these things.

If no--is it feasable to look for a new job? It sounds like a really toxic environment.

Can you job hunt?

I wouldn't feel bad about reporting him. Nope not at all. He sounds like a giant asshole that thinks he is untouchable.

[owlishbookish]

You really shouldn't have to put up with such abuse and he isn't entitled to be a bigoted dickwad to clients. Report him.

[spw123]

what everyone else said. there is a differnce between being frustrated by a boss's personality and being in a toxic work environment and from what you describe it is a toxic and unhealthy work environment. I would report him in whatever way you are able to given your company's structure. I would also seriously consider looking for a new job.

Just to touch on what you said about not wanting to get him fired becasue it would hurt his wife and kids - First, nothing YOU do would get HIM fired. He would be fired for HIS OWN BEHAVIOR and he is an adult that can take responsibility for the things he says and does. Don't put the consequences of his behavior on you - he wouldn't do the same for you.

It's a unique structure at my office. There are only two of us and he owns his own business but we have a parent company. Our regional director and others seem to know how bad he is but no one really cares as long as he brings in revenue. When I started working I knew I was in trouble when at a training event people told me good luck with him.

I had been looking for a new job but when I got pregnant had to stay for healthcare, maternity leave etc... Then had to stay through 2014 so I didn't have to pay back vacation days. I'm looking again but can't find anything with the same income/benefits. I can take somewhat lower to get out of this toxic environment but not finding that either. I love the parent company but can only transfer to another office upon my bosses permission and the other office boss hiring me.

Life could be worse. He makes me thankful for the wonderful people in my life. I feel bad for his poor children. He tells his daughter that it is a good thing she is pretty because she has nothing else going for her and needs a rich husband. He tells his son he needs to be rich because he is ugly.

[cubed]

Wow, he is a complete and utter douche. His poor kids. I agree with documenting everything he says business related. And that parent company is kind of crappy if they allowed him to get away with falsely accusing a CLIENT of something illegal. The fact that he didn't lose his job the moment that happened obviously reiterates your point that the company only cares about the money this guy brings in.

Could you enlist a recruiter to help you find something else, even if it's outside your field of work? If I'm not mistaken, a recruiter is paid for by the companies it represents, so I do not think you'd have to pay for their services.

I'm sorry you're stuck with such a dickless asshole.

My jaw dropped.

Also, Muslim isn't a race.

So true I should have said he reported him because he is from Pakistan and Muslim. My rant definitely wasn't clear. forgive me I was pissed.

[goldenbird]
