Well, you need to make a decision. You will either say something to stand up for yourself or you won’t.
There are only two choices here and that choice is yours and yours alone. f you do nothing, clearly nothing will improve for you and your boss will continue to insult you. If you say something, such as the fact that you will not tolerate this type of behavior, you may earn his/her respect and they may back off. There are never any guarantees, though. You never know how someone will react but at least saying something tactful will show you have a little backbone and self respect.
The first step in dealing with a toxic boss is to make a realistic decision about whether to stay or go. If you feel trapped, realistically evaluate how severely the situation is impacting you emotionally and mentally. If you decide to stay, it’s important to develop some coping mechanisms to limit the effect of their behavior on your mental well-being.
