I worked for an attorney who was nothing more than a liar and a bully. It’s a long story, but the summary of it is this: I texted the attorney because there was an issue with a client. He called me back screaming and cursing at me. He was saying such cruel things. Telling me that he didn’t give a “f…” about my “itty bitty feelings.” He knows I suffer from severe depression, anxiety and PTSD. (my little girl was murdered). He continued screaming and cursing at me for over 5 minutes. Now he has lied to the Unemployment office telling them that I walked off the job. I am so very depressed. I don’t understand why people have to be so cruel to each other. This is not a world that I want to be part of.

Ouch, that is so cold… I feel that way too, not wanting to be a part of that part of the world. I hope you can find a nice place to work. I am sorry for the loss of your baby girl. Sending you great compassion. ??
I put heart and peace emojis in my comment and they showed up looking like question marks. I can’t figure out how to edit it. I just wanted you to know I didn’t pit question marks there intentionally.

Bosses like that do so by design, that way they can oppress people into doing their work for them, enforce max work at minimum pay, and in many cases to sate an inner inferiority complex they may have, asserting dominance to compensate their lack of character, ability, leadership and general competency.
I’d suggest always having some means to record every interaction that you have with a potential narcissist/sociopath/asshole in the workplace, so that no matter what they do they’ll hit a wall when they try to push your name through the dirt, then in a small way you break them when you do up and leave and they can do less to you.
