People often vent their frustrations about working in a 'toxic workplace,' with several complaining about the 'rude behaviour' of their bosses. A 21-year-old fresher who joined a corporate consultancy firm alleged that he was 'bullied' and 'abused' by his bosses for 'minor mistakes'. Taking to Reddit, the intern wrote: “I’m 21M, a fresh graduate who recently joined a corporate consultancy (not the big ones but big) firm about a month and a half ago. I’m completely new to this field and currently in my internship period, which is expected to last for the first three months here." He then claimed that his boss screamed, “Which motherf*ing ahole did this?” The intern said the boss went on to deliver a monologue after the outburst. “I’m sorry for my language, but it’s really inefficient for me to repeat the work I used to do in my initial days two decades ago,” the boss apparently said. The intern sought advice from the online community about what he should do, given the "financial constraints" of his family. “Going back home isn’t an option for me—not because my parents lack the funds or wouldn’t welcome me back, but because I know they would worry that their son isn’t doing well. Deep down, I don’t want to disappoint them or make them think I made the wrong decision,” he wrote.

The OP replied, “The legal route may sound great on paper, but pursuing it is practically impossible for me, especially given the great laws we have in our country.” Another added, “Nah bro, don't be quiet on this stuff. This is the kind of behaviour they get away with only because no one calls them out on it.” A third posted, “Ex-sales professional here. In sales, my bosses used to casually give us
gaalis. Trust me when I’m saying this to you, give it back to him. Giving it back to him and losing your promotion/job will be much more peaceful than you not getting proper closure for this incident and getting haunted by it for years to come.”
