sorry to have to post anonymously but read on an you will hopefully understand why i am. I have recently joined a large 'well respected'! recruitment consultancy and feel intimidated at work and I'm not sure what to do about it. During sales time my manager becomes very aggressive, and what might have started as a joke is now getting out of control. When my manager thinks i'm not making enough calls he would wrap to flex of the hand set around my neck and laugh that the phone would always be close to me ear, then this week he sellotaped it to my head. Today he screamed that if i didn't make more calls and be more aggressive he would "staple the phone to my f*cking head". I am still new and don't want to rock the boat but i can't put up with this, what should i do?? I want to work in recruitment so i know i have to prove myself somewhere, if i leave after a couple of months it looks like i can't hack it.
