Blaming Boss

I started this job where the management style was very rude to the understaff. Impatience, lack of help, glares, and outright yelling. Sometimes the management was very gentle. I found this to be a trait to really throw you off balance.
I am the type of person who usually will stand up for herself. This was a place that could make you seriously question your self worth. The big boss raised his voice at me for what appeared to be something I did wrong in front of everyone. I was so embarrassed. That was the first time. That was when I was a new employee. I said to myself "Well this job won't last long. I know I wont tolerate that".
Then things calmed down. It happened a couple of other times and I just decided to let it roll off my shoulders. The big blow was when I started in the morning and I brought a matter to the managers attention. He raised his voice at me again. I was like excuse the daylights out of me. I brought the issue of him raising his voice to his attention. I told him I would not tolerate this. He basically said him and I clash, and that I would be better off searching for a career change. Talk about what makes you mad.

Interesting (08/16/2007)
A few years ago, my brother was hired at a company where he and his boss clashed.
My brother would tell his supervisor directly how poorly things were run and that the Sup was a moron.
The only reason my brother took that job was because of the economy right after 9/11.
He was only there for about 2 months before he was asked to leave. Guess the company went under shortly after that.

Goodness gracious, isn't there an HR department there? If you haven't been able to make Mr. Manager understand that yelling at someone is abusive, I thinking HR can make the point for you.
An attorney could too. Look for other employment if you want to, but if you want to stay for any personal reasons (like good benefits, wage, vacation, love your job )then stay - if he starts yelling, just walk away and document it with HR. Don't speak to him again until he apologizes.
If he gives you walking papers (if he has the authority to do it), sue him and the company that allows him to display such behavior(that's why it's important to report these incidents to HR as they occur before the old pink slip arrives).
Slip a DVD of "Anger Management" onto his desk just to make yourself feel better. When he starts yelling, you can just think of that and smile as you walk away...
