Hi there,
I'm really sorry to hear about the situation you're facing with your boss. Nobody deserves to be shouted at or humiliated in front of their co-workers, especially when you are just starting out in your career. It's natural to have questions and seek clarification, especially as a fresh graduate.
In terms of whether it's okay to go AWOL (Absent Without Official Leave) because of your boss, it's important to consider a few things. Going AWOL without prior notice or without following proper protocols could have negative consequences on your professional reputation and future job prospects. It's generally advised to handle such situations in a more professional manner.
Instead, I would suggest considering the following steps:
1. Document incidents: Keep a record of the instances when your boss shouted at you or humiliated you in front of your co-workers. Note down dates, times, and any other relevant details. This will be helpful if you need to discuss the issue with higher authorities or HR in the future.
2. Talk to your boss: If you feel comfortable doing so, try to have a conversation with your boss about how their behavior is affecting you. Be respectful and calm, and express your concerns about being humiliated in front of others. Your boss may not be aware of the impact their actions have on you, and they might be more willing to adjust their behavior if they understand how it's affecting their team members.
3. Seek support from colleagues: Reach out to your co-workers and see if any of them have experienced similar treatment from your boss. If so, you can discuss the issue as a group and consider addressing it collectively.
4. Speak to HR or higher authorities: If the situation doesn't improve or if it continues to escalate, it might be necessary to involve HR or higher authorities within your company. Present your documented incidents and express your concerns about the impact on your well-being and job performance.
Remember, every industry and workplace has different standards and cultures. However, it is not acceptable for anyone to be consistently shouted at or humiliated at work. It's important to establish boundaries and ensure a respectful and professional work environment.
I hope this helps, and I wish you the best in resolving this issue.
