Ok so I take a lot from people. I whole lot. I try not to dish it out .. but I do tend to take a lot in. My boss is one of those people who if he gets mad at anyone he will take it out on me. So for two days in a row I got to experience being yelled, screamed and cussed at. I can't take anymore. He has been like this on and off since I started here. I think I have had the last straw. He told me yesterday all I do is "sit on your fat ass". I wanted to yell and scream and smack him. I tried to brush it off. I do everything he has told me to do and everything that is supposed to be a part of my job. I can't do it anymore. I am a single mother. I am pregnant and I am going thru the stress of having a house built right now on top of everything else. I am having heath problems ... to include issues with my heart and blood pressure. I feel like this job is not worth it. I think he is going to drive me to having a heart attack or stroke.
My boss has some bussiness practices I do not agree with as well as some of his morals. We have been bumping heads on a lot of things. However ... I try to bite my tongue. I have told him before though that he can not yell at me or raise his voice .. nor call me names or cuss at me. He continues to do this. He puts me down. Calls me names and swears at me. I have been at this job since June. I think I have taken the abuse long enough.
Enough is enough ... I think he has pushed me into a corner and I need to quit.

Then I would go to HIS boss (if he has one) and let him know what has been going on and ask him what he will do to ensure that this verbal abuse does not continue.
If none of this works and you have to quit your job, I would take all of the documentation to the labor board and file a complaint against the company. It is ILLEGAL to do that.
I think tomorrow after I get paid I am going to leave the key at the end of the day and quit that way. Then he will have no way to yell scream or anything else and it will be confrontation free for me.
I know I have to get my check BEFORE I quit because I know he has stiffed other people on money he owes them. So I do not want this to happen to me too since I have worked a whole week .. and expect to be paid for the whole week!
Hang in there
He obviously takes you for granted, doesn't appreciate the work you do considering the circumstances and has no respect for women based on how he treats you. It is time to find a job that will make you a valuable asset to their company, treat you with respect and be more understanding about your situation pertaining to your physical and mental health.
You and for that matter no one deserves to be treated like this by anyone whether it be a fellow co-worker or a manager/boss. Document everything, even if it seems irrelevant.
What will happen with your health care though, if you quit? Will you be able to manage financially? I know you are pregnant, and you might be in a bad position, if you quit. Do you get any benefits through your job? Could it be possible that you quitting is exactly what your boss wants you to do.
I had a boss like yours ones, and I have the feeling there is no talking sense into this man. I did quit my job, but I had another one lined up, so I could begin working a week later. I had to put up with his bs, because I was the sole provider, and I know how much stress it is.
I am not sure how long you have left, but is there anyway that you can get some sort of sick benefits in regards to your health problems. Do you have any maternity leave at this place.
There is a lot of things to take into consideration, and although I agree that you need to quit, I also think that it is important that you think wisely about your choices and the consequences.
I definitely agree with Melissa, you need to start documenting everything. I would even go as far as to record his verbal attacks....
No matter what I wish you all the best of luck.
