I am a receptionist/secretary in a small office, so anyone who wants secretarial/reception work done becomes my temporary supervisor. "Bob," (who may possibly be the next director when the current elderly director retires) incorrectly believed that I had snubbed a visitor at the reception desk who wanted to meet with one of Bob's subordinates. Bob appeared at my desk shaking. He stuttered in anger, screamed at me about my supposed behavior, then slammed his hand down hard on my desk, directly in front of me.
My direct supervisor later told me that she would not be telling Bob that his yelling and slamming were unacceptable behavior. Our personnel policy prohibits sexual harassment, but says nothing about screaming/slamming. What shall I do? I would like him to get managerial training, or anger management training and apologize to me. I do not want him to get back at me for any of this. I would also like to see my company adopt a "no screaming/slamming" policy. (No bullying/intimidation). To this end, I am currently researching if City Hall employees have regulations about this, since my office is partially connected with City Hall.
I don't know if he would have screamed/slammed if I were male or if I were his superior.
Any laws or advice on this? Thanks.
