I am a really quiet, friendly, nice person. So I don't ever snap at people.. I hate confrontation.
But this morning I couldnt take it anymore. I was tired of being treated like crap by a toxic supervisor ( foreman in construction) and yelled at him in a burst of rage.
Examples of his toxicity include:
-Swearing profanely around our jobsites which can be at an Elementary school, or a church.
-Always being so negative and blaming everything on me.
-Getting into my face and wanting to fight or trying to provoke one.
The list goes on and on. It us only me and him and a boss in the company, so no HR or anything. He drinks and does cocaine during work.
Anyways, after the incident he apologized and we talked it over. He wasn't being mean to me for the rest of the day. However I feel like he will be mean again tomorrow.
What should I do and is what I did bad?! Should I feel ashamed? & has this ever happened to you as well? I never yell or get mad or snap at anyone..
TL;DR – After 8 months of suffering constant abuse from my toxic supervisor (38/M) I (27M) snapped at him and defended myself for the first time.
