AIBU to think that "He's like it with everyone" is not a good excuse

for being shouty at staff members.

I started a new job 3 months ago. I have made mistakes, and had tellings off for said mistakes. Obviously, I need to know what mistakes I have made, and to be told the right way to do it instead. I understand that having made the same error again my boss will get exasperated.

Every time anybody makes a mistake he goes ballistic. I have been told not to worry "Because he's like this with everyone" and I was starting to wonder if I'm just being too sensitive. Or just am too useless at my job.

I was so excited to start this job, but every time something goes wrong, the boss shouts. He has reduced me to tears twice, and at least one other colleague has been on the verge of walking out. I feel like such a failure, but I can't hack it any more. DH thinks I'm in an abusive situation and I should get out ASAP (Get another job, or get fired - he has some ideas about how to achieve this. Not that I will follow any of them)

Sorry this is a bit incoherent. Today's rant was for "not telling him the whole story" about something I was told to do. I'm feeling angry, upset, confused, hopeless. It's time to cut my losses and bail, isn't it?

There is one plus to him being like this with everyone including suppliers. He'll have developed a reputation for being a bully so that should count in your favour during your job hunting.
