    As the title says, I stood up to my boss (I have 2, one is grand, the other one is abusive and a mor*n) for behaving as if I was his dog, he didn't like it, hasn't been talking to me since (it's been a week since I told him to his face not to talk to me like I was his dog or property. Last year same thing happened (I got a raise afterwards) and obviously he didn't learn from his mistakes as he's done it again.


    What should I do ? I really start to think about leaving.

    can you provide a bit of context? always good to stick up for yourself, and depending on how its done can be very positive.

    Document and record everything. Try and find out if your boss has a valid complaint, or not. If there's a continued pattern of disrespect, go to HR.

    Also there are processes in every company around disputes and complaints.

    Is it a large or a small company? A small company might have poorly developed HR processes.

    Being forced out of a company is called constructive dismissal.

    Everyone has a right to stand up to their boss, so make sure you are familiar with your rights as an employee.

    Last year he kicked me for stepping on a pile of material (didn't break any) and this time texted me on my personal number telling me to come to work, but once I got there was "told" not asked, to do the dirty job in his gaff. I'm their only employee, never been late, good worker and they need me more than I need them.

    Oh and my other boss didn't know that he texted me on that day, as we were supposed to be off due to the weather.

    OP the obvious answer here is

    1. speak to the other boss who clearly has more cop on
    2. leave

    I don’t know what advice you need beyond that.

    What did the Guards say when you reported the assault on you?

    I didn't reported it, told him it's the first and last time he'd crosses the line.
