(ARIZONA)I have a boss who is constantly badmouthing, belittling and cursing at me alone and in front of others. I have it writing via e-mails and his own handwriting as well as numerous witnesses and prior employees who have left due to his nature.
Upon hire, I was not informed of the criteria of bonuses - just that I was entitled to "x" amount semi-annually if the profit was there.. come to find out he bases a portion on personal performance and being new I was not up to speed, therefore he did not feel I should receive the whole bonus. When I questioned it, his reply was "when there are absolutely no errors, then there will be no deductions".. Our Human resource dept has said they disagree as he said this in front of them and also they were wrong for not explaining the process to me, they also counseled him on his language. They have both of us attending a weekly meeting w/a hr rep to work out the issues.. In my eyes, this re-hashes everything, he gets more tense, bad mouths and defends everything in there at my expense and we get no where. HR has told me that they appreciate my patience and would hope in an effort to cure him of his nasty ways that I would continue to attend these meetings until I find another position. I love my customers, they love me, I love my job and everyone else in the company loves me too.. I should not have to switch to make it easier for them nor should I have to work under this type of duress when I am not in the wrong. What are my rights???
