Question:
What options are available if one goes through daily verbal abuse and mental torture from management?
I am working in a public-listed local company.
New boss comes in and everyday there is scolding and verbal abuse, and it is rapidly becoming an impossible and unhealthy situation to work with.
He wants us all (to paraphrase him) “feel the pain”, “nobody gets to go home until this is done”, and so on and so forth. It’s been 12-14 hour workdays every day for the past two months and he refuses to let anyone go home until he is satisfied.
Resigning is a scary option because of age (already > 40) and there’s a lot of financial obligations.
HR is aware of the situation and is opting to ignore it.
Unfortunately the daily scolding is from C-band management, and I am two levels below him.
My emotional, mental, and physical health is affected, and I don’t know what else to do.
Can I lawyer up?
Is this something that can be brought to labor court?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you
