[quote=Anonymous]I have a yelling boss too OP. When he yells at me, I just calmly say “please don’t yell at me”, but it took me years to learn how to emotional detach enough to do that, so I know it’s easier said than done.

I also make bingo cards for mandatory awful events: holidays with my stepsiblings, weddings, conferences, etc. It’s funny, but it also gets you into the mindset that X will happen, so it’s not a surprise when it happens. In my head, X becomes as predictable as the sun rising, and I can just acknowledge it and move on.

And take solace in the fact that you really probably only have two more weeks with the whole gang. Lots of people will be out in the second half of this week. Lots of people will be out the last two weeks of the year. And then you are out! Organize any files or work samples you want to take with you. Clean out your inbox, hard drive, and shared drives. Go into a big workbook and adjust the print settings for each individual sheet so that they are all different.

Advice for the future: RTO is a divisive issue. So are working moms (still…). Don’t bring those things into your narrative because some will use it to discredit you and be unhelpful. Your narrative is your boss is abusive, and you plan to leave, but you need to survive until you hit financial milestones in January. Your question is “how do you survive in a crappy workplace when you know you only have a month left?”.

Good luck![/quote]
