Abstract: Abstract The subject of this case study centers on abusive supervision. The story is told of a boss, an abusive supervisor, who practices power harassment over members of his staff. His abuse and mistreatment fall into three categories: verbal abuse (yelling and belittling subordinates), demanding staff perform tasks unrelated to their jobs, and engendering a hostile work environment. Abusive supervisory behavior is unethical because it causes harm to other human beings and wholly disregards their human dignity. In response to this maltreatment, begin the process of seeking a new job. While in that process, continue talking to colleagues and those empathetic to the situation. Also, stand up to the abusive boss when he acts up. If there are organizational procedures in place, lodge a complaint with the company about this abusive behavior.
