My boss screams at me constantly — is this normal?

I work for a business where the owner routinely screams at the employees, including me. I’ve tried to address it with my manager, but now I either get screamed at or I get the silent treatment. At work, I’m constantly shaking. This is not normal, is it?

Well, it is normal to shake when one is treated as badly as you describe… but no, it is definitely not normal for anyone to treat anyone else this way and it’s unlawful in the workplace.

If there’s a human resources function in your company, or someone in legal, then you all need to document the behavior and file complaints. If not, you need to alert someone else in management. You should also seek the advice of an attorney, and you can file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the process for which you can find on their website.

If you resign, you would almost certainly be granted unemployment benefits for having to quit because of a hostile work environment. Alternatively, a doctor would likely certify that you need to take leave due to stress. At least that would remove you from the toxicity with some protection while you figure out your next steps. You have rights and resources — you are not stuck. Take action.

I don’t actually hate my job, but it’s hard work, and I’m exhausted by Friday. I don’t have the energy to do anything over the weekend and I get really bad cases of the Sunday Scaries. I start to dread the week and can barely get out of bed. How can I cope with this?

Oh, my. That is no way to live or work. There are so many possibilities here — one recommendation starts with getting some professional help to deal with the stress that you are experiencing. As for your hard work week, have you had a discussion with your boss? Is this just a high stress period that will pass or is this normal with no end in sight? Are you overburdened with responsibility? Can your boss shift resources or workload to help alleviate this? Can you work differently, smarter and not harder? Whatever is going on can’t continue. Discuss this with your boss and get help for the stress you are feeling in the meantime.
