[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it's pretty obvious you are not going to get a positive reference ever out of this situation, but I would involve HR at this point and let it be known that you're experiencing [b]a hostile work environment [/b]now that you've given notice, just so you have it on record.  Also, try to take copious notes and communicate with your boss via email only.

As far as what you've detailed:

1) yelling at you in meetings-- not ok (not ok even if you HAVEN'T given notice, by the way)
2) taking you off of projects --well, yes, you won't be there soon
3) you can't call in sick --yes, you can--follow your company policies (look them up)
4) negative comments --gotta suck this one up

You might even try saying to your boss and anyone else who might listen: "Look, I'm trying to be as professional as possible during my last few days here, and I want to make the transition as easy as possible on the team.  What can I do/document to make things easier for you?"

Also try to line up references (peers, other colleagues besides your boss) that you can use if you can't get one from him eventually

But trust me, your boss sounds like a piece of work.   Hang in there, don't loose your cool, it will be done soon enough.

This is not a "hostile work environment."  A hostile work environment involves sexual harassment or race or gender discrimination or some other form of illegal discrimination.

People don't seem to realize that it is perfectly legal for your boss to be mean to you.  [/quote]
